Self-check for skin cancer with your phone

SkinVision is the first CE certified medical application that enables users all over the world to self-examine their skin for skin health issues, including skin cancer. SkinVision relies on a AI tehnology built on the expertise of world class skin health professionals and dermatologists.

Context

Healthcare industry is estimated to surpass $10 trillion by 2022 and skin cancer affects over 1,5 million new patients every year. Together with the SkinVision team, we wanted to build a platform that allowed users to keep their skin healthy with regular self-checks using only their mobile phones. SkinVision (Netherlands) had an established codebase and an internal team in Amsterdam when we started working with them. They were in charge of business, marketing, customer care, and product. Our team took over the mobile app development process for iOS and Android platforms.

Our Support

Atta Systems team joined SkinVision, a funded medtech startup, helping the product team with mobile app development (on Android and iOS), mobile image acquisition and occasionally frontend and product marketing services. We provided the software development for the iOS and Android apps and different web apps, image processing and computer vision skills for on-device image acquisition, software architecture expertise for the backend infrastructure, product marketing: setup and monitor product analytics (mobile, web, backend).

Proposed Solution

SkinVision supports users to check their skin for signs of skin cancer with instant results on their phones with the help of our clinically proven technology, combined with the knowledge of dermatologists specializing in skin cancer.

We created the app to use machine learning giving users the risk indication in just a few seconds. A research team was also involved in the development of the risk assessment algorithms. We had to set device real-time image acquisition with specific conditions, build complex code-base for iOS and Android and ultimately handover work to the new internal development team, at the end of 2018.

The collaboration was a success, we started with app ratings below 3* on App Store and Google Play store and managed to successfully raise the user ratings to over 4.5* on average on both stores.
