WE RECOMMEND GETTING DERMATOLOGIST OPINION NO MATTER WHAT CLASSIFICATION THE APP MAY PROVIDE YOU WITH. THIS IS SIMPLY A TOOL, NOT A MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS.
Studies have shown that melanoma can be more easily treated with less invasive and fewer high risk procedures when it is diagnosed at its earliest stage; many patients who were not diagnosed at an early stage hesitated from seeking medical help due to financial and emotional factors. Malignant melanoma present in skin growths often goes unnoticed beyond its earliest stage. Patients looking to diagnose skin spots such as moles as benign or malignant have to first consult a doctor and then get referred to a biopsy of the for the skin growth. This app aims to provide a more efficient and accurate solution to identifying melanoma in skin growths, specifically moles. Building on existing research on machine learning and artificial intelligence, it asks: To what extent can object classification accurately be used to detect potential melanoma in moles?
