Artificial intelligence helps with skin cancer detection

The technology has been devised at the University of Waterloo, together with a team from the Sunnybrook Research Institute. The focus is with the detection of detect melanoma skin cancer. The technology utilizes machine-learning software in order to analyze images of skin lesions. The analysis seeks to provide doctors with objective data on biological markers of melanoma. This is important since early detection of skin cancer has a high success in terms of starting treatment early, whereas late detection is far more serious.
