Derma eye is a compact, table-top scanning device with handheld probe to detect skin cancer. It uses optical imaging and machine learning techniques to detect skin cancer. The product offers painless, radiationless and faster skin cancer diagnosis at affordable cost.
The problem we solve...
If detected earlier, treating skin cancer will be very simple as cutting it out and the time taken will be just 5 mins. If detected earlier (less than 1mm deep), survival rate for melanoma is 97-99%. But this does not happen in most cases as majority of people do not reach out for diagnosis/screening at the earlier stage. This hesitation of people to undergo early screening of small and suspicious developments in their skin is mainly because of three reasons.
People fear to undergo painful and invasive biopsy procedure.
Costly diagnostic tests and time consuming processes.
Periodical screening of skin is not possible with invasive biopsy
Increasing incidence of skin cancer due to global warming accompanied with people’s hesitancy to take screening tests at the earliest will be disastrous. In such a scenario, large deaths due to skin cancer will be non-negligible.
DermaEye - An unparalleled Solution
Derma eye offers painless, radiationless and faster skin cancer diagnosis at affordable cost. This would diminish people's fear and hesitancy and would encourage a large population to undergo screening test periodically, thus increasing the possibility of catching most skin cancers in their earliest stages. With optical imaging technique, Derma eye can visualize the underlying cell structure beneath the skin. Thus, Derma eye can detect skin cancer even before it comes out as a visible lesion.
