Digital Innovation and AI-Powered Skin Analysis in Pharmacies

Pharmacies are becoming an important destination for skincare purchases, as consumers increasingly turn to places where they can receive product guidance and explore solutions aligned with their individual concerns.

Customers can now access the experience in BENU parapharmacy through smart, illuminated mirrors provided by Inovshop. With a quick facial scan, Perfect Corp.’s Skincare Pro solution analyzes several facial features and identifies eight skin concerns including spots, wrinkles, acne, redness, eye bags, dark circles, radiance, firmness as well as the skin type. The results are delivered directly on an iPad interface and paired with personalized suggestions drawn from more than 200 skincare products from major brands integrated into the recommendation system.

Key Terms

ai technical

Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that enables machines to mimic human thinking and learning, allowing them to analyze information, recognize patterns, and make decisions. For investors, AI matters because it can improve how businesses operate, create new products, or identify opportunities faster and more accurately than humans alone, potentially impacting company success and market trends.

crm technical

Customer relationship management (CRM) is the set of tools, practices and software companies use to track and manage interactions with customers and potential customers, like an organized digital address book combined with a sales coach. It matters to investors because effective CRM systems can boost sales, improve customer retention and lower marketing costs, which directly affects revenue growth and profit margins — key drivers of a company’s value.

api technical

An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a set of rules that allows different software programs to communicate and work together smoothly, much like a waiter translating your order into the kitchen and then bringing your meal back. For investors, APIs are important because they enable real-time access to financial data, trading systems, and other digital services, making it easier to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.
