Planification of the labelling and training process (data on file). After the training is completed, the trained model can be used to transfer a yellow skin lesion image into a corresponding black skin lesion image. In this way, the model can be used to increase the number of black skin lesion images to improve the diagnostic performance.

-Progress made on both the data collection and the storage architecture. Discussions on setting up of Teledermatology are underway. We are having a discussion with Derma2Go to set up a basic Teledermatology platform. Feedbacks will be given together with informal usage and the goal is to have the system operational and useful from January 2021.
-We updated the team on the potential project with I-DAIR on follow ups. Adaptations to the platform will be made at the same time the implementation of the project is made possible. The goal there will be to have a solid flow of data which can be matched with follow up algorithms and matched with personalised geographical data with regards to environmental factors in the Malgasy environment (weather, latitude, altitude, humidity, urban vs rural environments). This will be particularly useful in the research and management of the chronic dermatosis of the PASSION project: Atopic Dermatitis.
