The app makes use of ML algorithms for early detection of melanoma.

DataArt engagement manager and logistics head Andrey Sorokin said: “We can compress tens of thousands of hours of hard work by the best dermatologists from around the globe into a melanoma diagnosis tool accessible to anyone with a smartphone.

“Imagine your suspicious-looking nevus being examined by thousands of doctors based on their collective experience and expertise from thousands of cases. This is exactly what our prototype smartphone app offers.

“We designed the app to demonstrate to the healthcare sector and the medical community the use of machine learning for analysis of medical imagery in an AI diagnostic process. The app does not replace a doctor’s diagnoses but rather supports and enhances the doctor’s work.”
