The Map My Mole app provides patients with a small lens attachment for their phones to capture high-quality images of concerning skin spots. These images are then uploaded for assessment by consultants.
A mobile app designed to help detect potential skin cancer has reduced hospital referrals by more than 50% in a trial at three primary care clinics in Britain’s National Health Service.
The Map My Mole app, which launched in March 2024, has reviewed more than 1,500 moles and lesions, streamlining the diagnostic process for both patients and providers, according to the company.
