    An iPhone App for Skin Cancer Diagnosis

    18 july 2012

    Apart from proving many other functions, your phone can now be your e-doctor as well, thanks to a new free iPhone app.

    The new free app developed at the University of Michigan Health System allows users to use their phone's camera to check for early signs of skin cancer. It works by creating a photographic baseline of their skin.

    Called UMSkinCheck, it even sends automatic reminders so users can monitor changes to a skin lesion over time.The app also provides pictures of various types of skin cancers for comparisons.

    The app, a collaboration of the University of Michigan’s technology and clinical expertise, guides users through a series of 23 photos, covering the body from head to toe.

    Photos are stored within the app and serve as a baseline for future comparisons.
