Problem
Skin cancer is highly curable if detected early, but often goes unnoticed until it reaches a more advanced stage. Traditional skin checks rely on infrequent in-person dermatologist visits, making it difficult to track changes in moles and identify new spots that may be cancerous. This can lead to delayed diagnoses and poorer outcomes for patients.
Solution
SkinIO offers a smartphone-based total body photography solution that enables users to regularly screen themselves for skin cancer. The SkinIO app guides users through a 10-minute photo-taking process, capturing images of their skin that are securely sent for expert medical review. These images are then analyzed using AI-enabled mole mapping to track changes in the skin over time, helping users and their dermatologists identify potentially cancerous spots early. By facilitating regular self-exams and expert analysis, SkinIO aims to improve early detection rates and ultimately save lives.
Target Audience
SkinIO targets individuals who want to proactively monitor their skin health for early detection of skin cancer, as well as employers, clinicians, health systems, and unions looking to offer convenient skin cancer screening solutions.
