Collaborating with SK Telecom to create a mobile application

 

Dr. Rhee was awarded the Medical Science Award by Korean Medical Association in 2011 in recognition of his innovative research on the facial analysis program. His study on an averaged attractive face for different races was published in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in 2012. Prestigious international medical associations are paying attention to his innovative scientific face analysis program.

Research on scientific face analysis continues. Dr. Rhee’s BAPA program has great potential as it can integrate changing standards of attractiveness such as changing proportions and angles into its analysis. Dr. Rhee has patented his program considering its potential for commercial application. Many companies have collaborated with Dr. Rhee to take his facial analysis program a step further.

“I worked with SK Telecom (a major mobile service provider in Korea) on creating a smart phone application. But due to the limitations of a mobile phone, the face recognition was not as accurate. Several other companies have proposed partnership. My personal goal is to create a portal for aesthetic medicine. It would provide face analysis and other useful information to patients and link them with skilled doctors.”

BAPA is available online to the general public for free. It analyzes the face and measures proportions, balance and overall attractiveness.
