DermaCheck Temporal Pairs Dataset
Dataset Description
Synthetic temporal image pairs for training MedGemma to detect changes in dermatoscopic images over time.
Created for: MedGemma Impact Challenge 2026 - Novel Task Prize (temporal change detection)
Dataset Statistics
- Total pairs: 900
- Train: 630 pairs (70.0%)
- Validation: 135 pairs (15.0%)
- Test: 135 pairs (15.0%)
Generation Methods
- Controlled Augmentation (~50%): Original HAM10000 images augmented to simulate temporal evolution
- Size increase: 10-30%
- Border irregularity: Elastic transforms
- Color variation: HSV adjustments
- Based on clinical research: melanoma evolution patterns
- Natural Pairing (~50%): Similar lesions from HAM10000 matched as temporal proxies
- Feature-based similarity matching
- Cosine similarity range: [0.6, 0.85]
- Same diagnosis category (melanoma focus)
- Unchanged Pairs (~15%): Negative examples for balanced training
- Same image duplicated as before/after
- Label: 0 (no change)
Dataset Structure
Each example contains:
image_before: PIL Image (before timepoint)image_after: PIL Image (after timepoint)text_prompt: ABCDE-focused change detection questionlabel: 0 (no change) or 1 (change detected)change_description: Educational explanation of changesmethod: Generation method (controlledaugmentation, naturalpairing, unchanged)pair_id: Unique identifier
