Computer vision app supports skin imaging technology in cancer self-examinations
Miiskin has introduced automatic skin imaging, available in a consumer app, which will enable people to take full-body photographs of their own skin, at home, to make skin cancer self-examinations easier. The new feature applies a combination of Apple's computer vision and augmented reality technologies to audibly and visually assist the user in taking photos alone and hands-free. The user places their phone on a desk or table and are then guided by the Siri voice to pose whilst the photographs are taken. Latest statistics based on the number of photographs taken on the Miiskin app reveal that only 15% of photographs taken on the app are of areas on a person's back, despite it being an area that is often prone to skin cancer. This app will enable those living alone or those who prefer not to have help from others, to easily capture pictures of all their body.
