ARMADA™
A whole new level of control and precision in the palm of your hands. ARMADA™, smartphone-based mobile remote sensing technology like no other, offers advanced capabilities to automatically detect, classify, and map spatial and spectral features using a mobile device. ARMADA™, is the foundational building block of smartphone-based mobile remote sensing technology developed by Galileo Group, Inc.
Standardize photos
Enhance spectral visibility
Highlight skin biomarkers
Collect and analyze deep insights
How it’s Used
In most cases, patients may be photographed by their dermatologist, surgeon, or other healthcare provider to track changes over time, or before and after a procedure or treatment. ARMADA™ is the only technology available on the market that standardizes image capture parameters to maximize comparability due to the exactness in positioning and use of lighting.
In dermatological applications, ARMADA™ accurately and reliably measures skin features over space and time.

Features
Spectral Enhancement
The patented non-contact mobile device attachment, an LED emitter synthesizes spectral responses for specific targets of interest.
Skin Mapping
Spectral Enhancement automatically detects, classifies, and maps skin features creating ease for tracking and comparison over time.
Detection Algorithms
Proprietary detection algorithms that uses spatial, spectral, and temporal observables to highlight prioritized skin biomarkers.
Tunable LED
The ARMADA™ attachment is enhanced with a spectrally tunable LED booster array and Bluetooth-based control app.
Remote Sensing
Active remote sensing provides calibrated light source in LED array; it’s engineered to adjust to changing ambient light conditions.
Enhanced Visibility
Skin features like follicular oils become visible. With Spectral Enhancement, the visibility of chromophores is strengthened.
Deep Data
Using a non-modified smartphone, actionable skin metrics regarding health or aesthetics are generated, creating deep data insights.
Spectral Information
The smartphone or mobile device camera and LED array together provides unique spectral information of selected skin features.
Patent Pending
This IP-protected configuration provides true remote sensing data for deep insights that eclipse that of basic photos.
ARMADA™ Smartphone-Based Acne Lesion Detection / Mapping / Tracking
Mapping and tracking skin lesions like blackhead/whitehead/papule/pustule are now possible using Galileo’s BIOLOGICAL RELATIVTY™ approach. This approach focuses on using spectral information to identify and classify lesion presence, boundaries, and bio signatures, while monitoring biological change of the target object over time relative to itself.

ARMADA™ Automated Processing using Mathematical Skin Model and Algorithms to Generate Select Output Metrics
Laboratory Hyperspectral Imaging for
Research and Investigative Work
Galileo owns and operates different high-end and state-of-the-art laboratory sensors to identify spectral and spatial differences of target material.
This information can then be used to define sensor requirements for the mobile and customize the spectral booster to specific needs using the larger hyperspectral sensors as exploratory pathfinders.
As part of this, Galileo has for example performed approved pre-clinical research and collected hundreds of live patient on-site scans to develop a science-grade database, detection algorithms and skin response models.
Specialized capabilities and resources are in continued development and include:
Human tissue spectral signatures with reference pathology
Skin surface imaging for lesion detection, skin cancer mapping and skin radiation effects measurement
Sub-surface vascular imaging
Multi-Sensor measurement and data fusion for 3D body mapping
