AI algorithms that can analyse a dermoscopic image of a skin lesion helping clinicians to identify skin cancer

By supporting the assessment of skin lesions in Primary Care within current appointment times and without the need for expensive equipment, Skin Analytics' solution supports a reduction of onward referrals to secondary care. This reduces the strain on specialist clinics and lowers the cost of finding melanoma. 

GP practices are provided with a dermascope and image capture device that can be used during consultation to capture an image of any pigmented lesions a GP would select for referral. An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm helps the GP identify suspected melanoma, pre-malignant and benign skin lesions.
