MyHair AI представляет инновационный ИИ-инструмент для раннего выявления облысения Translation: MyHair AI introduces an innovative AI tool for early detection of baldness

MyHair AI, a startup, has developed an AI-driven service that assesses hair density and identifies early signs of hair loss using photographs. This is reported by TechCrunch.

Users are required to take a photo and upload it to the MyHair application. The AI technology will analyze the images and inform users about potential issues.

Over time, users can upload additional photographs. The AI will monitor changes and offer personalized protection strategies. Additionally, users can find specialists or clinics through the platform and read verified reviews.

“Our AI explains what is truly happening with your hair. It suggests products that are genuinely suitable for specific hair types and informs users about potential side effects,” said co-founder Kiriak Lefor.

He believes that introducing transparency and medical precision into the $50 billion industry could significantly alter consumer approaches to understanding, treating, and selecting hair care products.

The idea for MyHair AI came to Lefor two years ago during a visit to a hair salon in New York, where a staff member informed him about early-stage balding and recommended a specific shampoo. Later, a doctor contradicted this diagnosis, claiming there was no issue.

This experience motivated the entrepreneur to explore the market of hair loss solutions, where he discovered a prevalence of misinformation and dubious clinic reviews.

It took around a year to refine the concept. The initial prototype of MyHair was developed over several years using «vibe coding» at Cursor, followed by a few additional months dedicated to scientific and clinical validation and the creation of a user-friendly application.

“We did not hire anyone for the first prototype; it was entirely created through vibe coding,” Lefor emphasized.

Later, the company brought in developers to build a more robust and scalable codebase.

Currently, the product has over 1,000 paid subscribers and 200,000 registered accounts. It operates based on an in-house AI model trained on more than 300,000 images.

“Men are concerned about two health issues: sexual dysfunction and hair loss. We are addressing one of the most common everyday problems,” Lefor noted.

In October, the biotechnology company SpotitEarly began developing a home test for cancer based on breath analysis. This technology merges canine olfaction with artificial intelligence algorithms.

Subsequently, Google developed an AI model for cancer treatment.
