Researcher Develops Smartphone App That Can Detect Skin Cancer
Based on early tests there is an app that will be able to detect if you might be afflicted and has a reported 85% rate of accuracy. The app was developed by George Zouridakis, a professor at the University of Houston. This app is not available in the app store because they are still undergoing testing and it will require a $500 dermascope, a magnifying glass, and a light source for it to work properly. The idea behind this app is to increase accessibility by doctors and those living in more rural parts of the country, where access to dermatologists might not be as easy compared to living in the city.
