Application for a quick melanoma assessment
The application will use algorithms and image based pattern recognition technology to make early melanoma detection instantly available to anyone with an iPhone.
The app will be linked to a database licensed from some medical center. The concerned user will simply take a photo of the suspicious mole with the iPhone camera, then upload it to the database where it will be evaluated based on risk. If the mole or freckle seems to present a significant risk the application will recommend the user to a nearby specialist for a follow up.
The application will also store images to make it easier to track changes in the moles over time.
