MelApp for iPhone detects Cancer!

MelApp for iPhone is an image-based risk assessment mobile app that assists in the early detection of melanoma, one of the fastest growing cancer worldwide.

The disease is deadly in its most advanced stages as few treatment options exist. The median lifespan for patients with advanced melanoma is less than one year. Performing regular self-exams could save your life or that of a loved one.

Checking a mole or freckle is quick and easy:

1. Use MelApp to take a picture of the skin lesions of concern with an iPhone’s camera, enlarging it with the zoom feature to fit into the green box, then
2. Pin point the mole size and its evolution by sliding the corresponding indicator bar and tap on "Check Risk." Within seconds MelApp will provide a risk analysis of the uploaded picture being a melanoma.

MelApp uses highly sophisticated patent protected state-of-the-art mathematical algorithms and image-based pattern recognition technology to analyze the uploaded image. The app was validated using an image database licensed from Johns Hopkins University Medical Center.
