Thermo‐SPT: A new skin prick test evaluation framework based on low‐cost, portable smartphone thermography

Although the skin prick test (SPT) is a reliable procedure to confirm IgE‐dependent allergic sensitization in patients, the interpretation of the test is still performed manually, resulting in an error‐prone procedure for the diagnosis of allergic diseases.
