Skin Scan - The Most Accurate Skin Cancer Detector on iPhone IPA 1.4
Description
Reinventing skin cancer prevention, Skin Scan will drastically reduce the cases in which people reach a medic when it's too late and far more expensive by bringing a revolutionary screening method to potentially everyone's home.
This application uses a proprietary mathematical algorithm to calculate the fractal dimension of the mole and surrounding skin and to build a structural map that reveals the different growth patterns of the tissues involved. By processing this map, Skin Scan is able to see if the mole has an abnormal development and to alert the user if a medical visit is required.
It is a skin cancer prevention tool that provides a risk assessment on the spot.
How it works:
1. from about 15-20 cm distance focus the mole properly and then shoot a picture with the camera!
2. move and scale the mole to fit inside the red control square!
3. press the Use button and wait couple of seconds for the result
4. archive the result/mole in a case for analyzing its development
“Skin Scan is the easiest way to check your moles and their development. This idea, to analyse skin lesions by their fractal dimension, is excellent. I also used this application with my patients and the results are very encouraging.” Dermatologist Kostas Koutsioukis, member of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD)
“It is accepted that human tissues have a fractal-like structure. Consequently, during the last decades scientists tried to classify different types of tumors by computing their fractal dimension and numerical characteristics.
Based on specific mathematical algorithms, Skin Scan is a skin cancer prevention tool which tells users when to look for a professional medical investigation. Loosely speaking, Skin Scan is an automated classification tool for potentially dangerous moles. Our team encourages the use of this modern technology that alerts users to seek medical help in time.” Ph.D. Mircea Olteanu – Mathematician
