The purpose of this Software Requirements Specification (SRS) document is to provide a detailed description of the functionalities, requirements, and constraints of the SkinAI application. SkinAI aims to provide users with an AI-powered platform to analyze their skin conditions and provide immediate insights and precautions based on the analysis.
SkinAI will be a web application built using the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) stack integrated with a machine learning (ML) service for skin condition analysis. The system will allow users to upload images of their skin, receive an analysis report, and obtain preliminary suggestions regarding their skin health.
