Dr Dhanraj D Chavan, M.D.
A dermatologist who (builds) clinical AI.
Clinical work
My current focus is on acne scars and fat grafting — areas where treatment typically combines several techniques per patient, calibrated to skin type and severity. Earlier in my career I worked extensively in hair restoration and phlebology, and both remain part of the practice at lower volume. Aesthetic-dermatology procedures sit alongside.

Building
Alongside the clinical work, I'm developing clinical AI for dermatology under an initiative called CSHMD. The pipeline is layered — image-based severity grading, segmentation for diffuse conditions like melasma and vitiligo, lesion-level detection for acne and post-inflammatory pigmentation, plus consultation-intelligence work on transcribed clinical conversations.
The aim is decision-support and second-opinion tooling that operates inside real clinical workflows, with particular depth on Indian skin (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) which most public dermatology AI under-represents.
