Health charity Skin Check Champions, the University of South Australia, and The Hospital Research Foundation have teamed up to launch a pop-up clinic that uses AI to diagnose skin cancer.
Their pop-up clinic is led by nurses who take high-quality lesion images from patients, which are then triaged and conditionally diagnosed by AI algorithms to check if they are cancerous. The results are also...
Quibim, a global medical imaging analysis specialist, has joined Highlight Therapeutics, a clinical-stage company specialising in immuno-oncology, to assess the efficacy of new immunotherapy treatments in advanced melanoma skin cancer using AI in a Phase II clinical trial in Spain.
The alliance will analyse the information contained in radiological scans and correlate these findings with...
UK-based medical technology company, Moletest (Scotland) Ltd, is offering primary care professionals the opportunity to reduce the number of dermatology referrals to secondary care with nomela, a screening test for skin lesions suspected of melanoma.

Engineers participating in a hackathon last weekend demonstrated an artificial intelligence that they say could someday detect cancerous moles, TechCrunch reports. Although the program is currently in its infancy, the team hopes that enough user submissions could allow Doctor Hazel to predict skin cancer with at least 90 percent accuracy.
After one day and thousands of image downloads, the AI is...
Dr. George Zouridakis PhD, a professor at the University of Houston has developed an iPhone app, called DermoScreen, that in early testing was able to detect melanoma 85 percent of the time.
The smartphone must be attached to a $500 dermoscope, which further magnifies the area of the patient's skin that will be tested.
In 2006, Zouridakis published a paper about this technology titled "SVM-based...
Physicians at the University of Michigan Health System launched an app for patients at-risk for skin cancer to use at home to self-exam their moles and other skin lesions over time. The free app, called UMSkinCheck, is just the latest in skin cancer tracking and near-diagnostic apps to hit Apple's AppStore in the past year. UMSkinCheck is available for iPhone and iPad users.
Unlike many other...
A new iPhone medical app, Skin Scan, claims to detect melanoma on your skin using only the iPhone's camera. The app also includes geolocation features which map trends in skin cancer rates across the globe. The startup has secured €50,000 Euro in seed funding from Seedmoney, according to a report over at TechCrunch.
Skin Scan works by first taking a picture of a mole using the iPhone camera; the...
