The app enables users and dermatologists in the early detection of the disease, helping in predicting the risk of spread and prioritizing initial treatment. Using the algorithm in the app, an early detection of malignant or pre-malignant moles and lesions can reduce the mortality rate. With the help of the app users can track medication schedules, take the prescribed medication as directed thereby increasing medication compliance.
The skin cancer app is a unique way for dermatologists and patients to engage, meet, follow-up on appointments, set reminders, share photos, and set up conference calls. Through the skin cancer app research institutes can recruit patients for voluntary clinical trials as well.
