Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for improving skincare product formulations to address predicted skin trends. A biomarker analysis system is used to determine concentrations of various protein biomarkers of a user. A skin diagnosis computing device uses the protein biomarker concentrations to determine one or more skin trends, and determines one or more skincare product ingredients to address the skin trends. A skincare product is compounded that includes the one or more skincare product ingredients.

First claim

The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:

1. A system for creating custom skincare products, the system comprising:
an immunoassay analyzer device configured to generate protein biomarker concentration information from a sample provided by a subject;
a skincare product formulation device; and
a skin diagnosis computing device, comprising:
at least one processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the at least one processor, cause the skin diagnosis computing device to perform actions comprising:
obtaining protein biomarker concentration information for the subject from the immunoassay analyzer device;
determining at least one skincare product ingredient based on the protein biomarker concentration information; and
transmitting the determined at least one skincare product ingredient to the skincare product formulation device;

wherein the skincare product formulation device is configured to:
receive the determined at least one skincare product ingredient; and
dispense a skincare product that includes the at least one skincare product ingredient.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the actions further comprise presenting a questionnaire and receiving responses to questions of the questionnaire; and wherein the determination of the at least one skincare product ingredient is further based on the responses.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the questionnaire includes questions directed to at least one of climate, humidity, stress level, and smoking status.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein determining at least one skincare product ingredient includes using a recommendation engine that determines skincare product ingredients used by subjects with similar characteristics.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the actions further comprise:
receiving feedback on skincare products from subjects; and
updating the recommendation engine based on the feedback.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the skin diagnosis computing device is a smartphone or a tablet computing device.

7. A method for creating custom skincare products, the method comprising:
obtaining, by a skin diagnosis computing device from an immunoassay analyzer device, protein biomarker concentration information;
determining, by the skin diagnosis computing device, at least one skincare product ingredient based on the protein biomarker concentration information; and
transmitting, by the skin diagnosis computing device, the determined at least one skincare product ingredient to a skincare product formulation device for creation of a custom skincare product.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
receiving, by a skincare product formulation device, the determined at least one skincare product ingredient; and
dispensing, by the skincare product formulation device, the custom skincare product that includes the at least one skincare product ingredient.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
presenting, by the skin diagnosis computing device, a questionnaire; and
receiving, by the skin diagnosis computing device, responses to questions of the questionnaire;
wherein the determination of the at least one skincare product ingredient is further based on the responses.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the questionnaire includes questions directed to at least one of climate, humidity, stress level, and smoking status.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein determining at least one skincare product ingredient includes using a recommendation engine that determines skincare product ingredients used by subjects with similar characteristics.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
receiving, by the skin diagnosis computing device, feedback on skincare products from subjects; and
updating, by the skin diagnosis computing device, the recommendation engine based on the feedback.

13. A system for creating custom skincare products, the system comprising:
circuitry for obtaining protein biomarker concentration information, including circuitry for receiving the protein biomarker concentration information from an immunoassay analyzer device;
circuitry for determining at least one skincare product ingredient based on the protein biomarker concentration information; and
circuitry for transmitting the determined at least one skincare product ingredient to a skincare product formulation device for creation of a custom skincare product.

14. The system of claim 13 , further comprising:
circuitry for receiving the determined at least one skincare product ingredient; and
circuitry for dispensing the custom skincare product that includes the at least one skincare product ingredient.

15. The system of claim 13 , further comprising:
circuitry for presenting a questionnaire; and
circuitry for receiving responses to questions of the questionnaire;
wherein the determination of the at least one skincare product ingredient is further based on the responses.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the questionnaire includes questions directed to at least one of climate, humidity, stress level, and smoking status.

17. The system of claim 13 , wherein determining at least one skincare product ingredient includes using a recommendation engine that determines skincare product ingredients used by subjects with similar characteristics.

18. The system of claim 17 , further comprising:
circuitry for receiving feedback on skincare products from subjects; and
circuitry for updating the recommendation engine based on the feedback.
