La veille de la cybersécurité

Piction Health, founded by Susan Conover SM '15, uses machine learning to help physicians identify and manage skin disease. When Susan Conover wanted to get a strange-looking mole checked out at the age of 22, she was told it would take three months to see a dermatologist. When the mole was finally removed and biopsied, doctors determined it was cancerous. At the time, no one could be sure the cancer hadn't spread to other parts of her body -- the critical difference between stage 2 and stage 3 or 4 melanoma. Thankfully, it turned out that the mole ended up being confined to one spot. However, the experience launched Conover into the world of skin diseases and dermatology.
