‘Scan, Skin, Send’ is a solution for a local problem that will lead into an effective tool for helping to diagnose skin problems.

It allows the secure, discreet transfer of photographs and potentially other media types to the doctor by using the patient’s smartphone. This process is not a replacement for face-to-face consultations but makes it easier for patients in isolated communities, working shifts or with long appointments wait times.

The application would be in an excellent place to begin machine learning and could be licensed or embedded as a standalone app.
