Mole Check - The dermatologist in your pocket

What is Mole Check?

Mole Check is a smartphone application that can make accurate diagnoses of moles within seconds. These diagnoses can be stored and tracked to make monthly updates so that malicious developments can be detected quickly.

Why you should use it?

The number of new cases has increased significantly in recent years. This is the result of a study in which scientists evaluated cancer registry data from Schleswig-Holstein and Saarland: In Saarland, the number of cases has increased 10 to 22 times between 1970 and 2012. In Schleswig-Holstein it has doubled in only 13 years (from 1999 to 2012).

Who are the users?

Every person who has many moles can and should use our application regularly. A dermatologist appointment is often not easy to get, so you should examine yourself more often. Even people with only a few can have themselves checked up from time to time, as skin cancer is unfortunately underestimated far too often.

How does it work?

Our system works with the machine learning technology. We have fed a neural network with hundreds of images of moles. These have been marked as either dangerous or harmless. Now the network compares each newly captured image with our database and outputs a result.
