To save 250,000 lives in the next decade by early detection of skin cancer.
SkinVision’s AI driven app allows anyone with a smartphone to track and assess skin irregularities and receive feedback within thirty seconds. It’s important to note that the app does not provide a diagnosis, instead it indicates a risk factor from which users can decide to see a medical expert.
It’s one of quite a few apps of its kind to emerge in the last few years – including Google’s Derm Assist. Given that in western countries, skin cancer is the most common cancer, any tech developments that help reduce severe illness and death is most welcome.
However, there has been some criticism of the performance of SkinVision and other apps of its ilk, especially when it comes to analysing non-Caucasian skin tones. This opens up another avenue of questions about unequal image samples in medical databases, rather than the app developers themselves.
That being said, for SkinVision to make the difference it's committed to, the bottom line will be the accuracy of its results, for which further product innovation is crucial.
