Built for claims-ready science

Clinical Studies Software for remote AI-enabled skin research

Clinical skin studies are limited by on-site capacity and cohort size. Haut.AI runs remote efficacy studies on cohorts of 100 to 7,000 participants, with AI skin analysis and claims-ready reporting. Setup in 2–3 days.

Measurement you can trust outside the lab

The AI grading model achieves ICC values of 0.97–0.98 across all capture settings (clinical camera, clinic smartphone, and at-home selfie), meaning results replicate reliably across participants, sites, and time points.

One consistent, validated measurement

Your study no longer has to happen in one place

A clinical skin study now spans three capture settings: a controlled lab, a study clinic, and a participant's home. Haut.AI's measurement layer returns consistent results across all three, so your cohort is not limited by who can travel to a site.

01 In a lab Participant at a controlled lab imaging device

Controlled high-resolution imaging

A high-resolution imaging device captures images under fully standardized conditions.

02 At a clinic Clinician capturing a participant at the clinic

Semi-controlled clinic capture

A smartphone captures images under standard indoor lighting at a research site.

03 At home Participant taking a guided selfie at home

Fully uncontrolled at-home capture

The participant captures a smartphone selfie in their own environment, without any lighting or positioning control.

Measurement you can trust outside the lab

Accuracy measured against trained dermatologist grading panels

Capturing skin anywhere only matters if the scores stand up. Haut.AI's automated grading has been validated against trained dermatology panels, repeats reliably across participants and time points, and holds across diverse cohorts.

Dermatologist-aligned grading

Validation work with independent clinical research partners demonstrated high correlation between Haut.AI's automated scoring and trained dermatology grader panels.

Excellent repeatability

The AI grading model achieves intraclass correlation (ICC) values in the excellent range (≥ 0.90), meaning results you can replicate across participants, sites, and time points.

Validated across diverse participants

Validation conducted across participants aged 20 to 70, balanced gender, covering the demographic range your study cohorts are likely to span.

Study economics

The case for running your next study at a larger scale

Clinical skin studies typically produce limited statistical confidence at significant cost. Haut.AI-powered studies reduce site variability through automated AI grading and make larger cohorts practical through remote capture.

average ROI

Haut.AI-powered studies replace manual grading, monitoring, and operational overhead, returning on average three times their cost.

Based on an average of 6 studies per year.

Bigger cohorts, comparable spend

Remote capture removes per-participant site visit costs. Run at a significantly larger scale for comparable total spend.

Statistically stronger evidence

Larger cohorts, more time points, and consistent AI grading produce tighter confidence intervals and more defensible claims.

Haut.AI's clinical software covers 29 face metrics, 10 hair metrics, and 9 body metrics, 48 parameters in total. Face metrics span acne and breakouts, lines and wrinkles, pigmentation and tone, pores and texture, and aging and structural signs. Hair metrics cover color, health and condition, and geometry. Body metrics cover breakouts, pigmentation, and texture and surface quality.
Yes. Haut.AI's LIQA technology guides participants through smartphone image capture in real time, checking position, angle, lighting, and framing before the image is taken. This ensures consistent image quality across remote and uncontrolled settings. Validated performance has been confirmed at home as well as at a clinical site.
Haut.AI integrates into your existing study structure. Your CRO retains responsibility for ethics, IRB, protocol adherence, GCP compliance, and subject recruitment. Haut.AI provides the measurement and analytics layer. We support a 3-way partnership model and provide software training for your CRO team.
Ingredient efficacy, finished product efficacy, comparative claims (split-face), perception vs. objective changes, and longitudinal tracking. The same platform also supports faster pre-study applications: subject screening, ingredient proof-of-concept, formula iteration tracking, and reformulation validation.
Haut.AI's LIQA (Live Image Quality Assurance) technology runs a real-time guided capture process before the image is taken, not after. It checks positioning, lighting, and framing and prompts the participant to correct before submitting. A backend quality check runs additionally. This means the AI receives usable data from the first submission.
Yes. The platform accepts uploads from VISIA, ColorFace, and other imaging platforms, with file names auto-parsed. This means existing on-site imaging setups can feed directly into Haut.AI's analysis and cohort dashboard without re-capturing.
