PASSION dataset

Overview

PASSION derm is a pioneering initiative dedicated to closing the diversity gap in dermatology datasets. This project provides a unique dataset of skin condition images from Sub-Saharan Africa, with a focus on richly pigmented skin. The dataset is designed to emulate teledermatology settings and includes images of common pediatric skin conditions, such as eczema, fungal infections, scabies, and impetigo, in diverse quality and resolution. PASSION derm aims to improve access to dermatologic care in regions with limited healthcare resources.
