Skin Cancer Screening Application for Mobile Phones
People love the sun. Despite public campaigns to raise skin cancer awareness, tanning and its resulting skin cancer remain a frequent occurrence in society, with those individuals of European decent at particular risk. In addition, current screening techniques are invasive, inconvenient and costly to patient.
A continuation of our helioscan project, this concept for a mobile smartphone application would take advantage of recently developed technologies and platforms to simplify and improve the skin cancer screening process.
A calendar linked app will remind the user to photograph any suspicious lesions on their body. The app will then upload the photos to cloud-based data processing server, where they will be analyzed according to established medical criteria for identifying cancerous lesions. The results of that analysis will be sent to the user and their physician via email, and a new event for the next required lesion photography will be created.

This will avoid invasive screenings, enhance patient self-awareness, and provide a greater level of communication between physician and patient about potentially cancerous lesions. These factors could avoid the billions that are spent on treatment of metastatic tumors by facilitating early tumor detection as well as the time and money currently spent on doctors visits and screenings. The target market, people of European decent and a history of sun exposure between 55 and 75, will love our application because it is simple and avoids costly and invasive body scans and screenings.
