History
MDAlgorithms was founded in 2016 by Oded Harth[6], a tech entrepreneur and AI specialist, and his father Yoram Harth, a dermatologist and former research fellow at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center.[7][8] The company was established to democratize dermatology by making medical-grade skin analysis and treatment accessible via smartphones.[9]
In 2017, the company participated in the Y Combinator accelerator program (Batch W17). That same year, it launched its first major product, the MDacne mobile application.[10]
In 2025, MDAlgorithms was named to the Deloitte Technology Fast 500. The company was ranked 434th on the list, attributing its inclusion to a 156% revenue growth during the eligibility period.[11]
The company operates three consumer brands MDacne[12], MDhair, and Nuvane[2] which share a common proprietary diagnostic workflow in which users complete a medical-grade questionnaire and submit facial or scalp images that are analyzed using computer-vision algorithms to generate personalized treatment routines and product kits.[13]
MDalgorithms develops proprietary computer-vision systems trained on large dermatological image datasets and reports maintaining global collections of acne and scalp images for model training.[14]
