AI-ScalpGrader
AI classification into 10 scalp types, with density, thickness and hair-loss grading, developed with Seoul National University Bundang Hospital.
Applications
AI-ScalpGrader is a diagnostic device, not a treatment device: it classifies and reports. DNA Nexus's hair-restoration treatment systems sit on their own solution and technology pages; this page measures the scalp, it does not treat it.
AI scalp classification and hair-loss grading for consultation.- Hair density and thickness measurement, by region of the scalp.
- Hair cuticle condition analysis.
- Skin and hair colour tone analysis. The app uses it for a colour recommendation.
How it works
AI-ScalpGrader runs an AI classification pass over the scalp: it assigns one of 10 scalp types, measures density by region and thickness, reads cuticle condition and skin and hair colour tone, and produces a BASP hair-loss grade. The classification model was developed with Seoul National University Bundang Hospital.

Why this system
Classifies the scalp into 10 types
Density measured by region, thickness, cuticle condition, and skin and hair colour tone, alongside the classification itself.
Grades hair loss on the BASP scale
The same pass that classifies the scalp also produces a BASP hair-loss grade.
Two Cosmoprof awards
Aram Huvis publishes two wins for AI-ScalpGrader: the Home & Professional Devices & Tools category at the Cosmoprof Awards 2025, and the same category at the Cosmoprof Asia Awards 2024, both in partnership with Beautystreams.
Patent-protected diagnostic method
A Korean patent covers the AI scalp-image diagnosis system, and a separate patent covers the scalp-type diagnostic method itself.

What does AI-ScalpGrader classify?
10 scalp types, density by region, thickness, BASP hair-loss grade, cuticle condition, and skin and hair colour tone. Developed with Seoul National University Bundang Hospital.
Does AI-ScalpGrader treat hair loss?
No. It classifies and reports; DNA Nexus's hair-restoration treatment systems sit on their own solution and technology pages.
Is AI-ScalpGrader a medical device?
No, Aram Huvis instruments are non-medical, HS code 9031.49.9000.
How is the device cleaned and stored?
The lens should be cleaned gently after each use and stored properly, away from high temperatures or humid environments.
Does the app work in more than one language?
Yes. Six languages, Korean, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, French and Japanese, plus a System Default setting that follows the language of the device it runs on. Firmware updates are delivered through the app's Settings menu.
How does the client get the diagnosis results?
By scanning a QR code the device displays, over the device's own Wi-Fi access point, straight to the client's phone.
DNA Nexus support
DNA Nexus will handle installation and set up AI-ScalpGrader on site.
