This is fantastic and I would do something similar if I had the same resources. Whole genome sequencing and single cell sequencing are actually surprisingly inexpensive (compared t…

Performing the procedure requires a high level of skill in interpreting scans (angiograms) in real time.

In fairness, while I’m sure it didn’t work out for all of them, one of these students became one of the youngest self made billionaires in history

This is true, however I am sure that AI-based image analysis will also replace some of the work of dermatologists eventually so nobody is safe...

Not at the present time. I think if the project takes off I will move it to static hosting anyway to reduce the attack surface.

I think we are going to see more and more people in diverse fields developing applications that meet the requirements of a small niche that may not have been economically viable pr…

Not tried but my guess is ChatGPT will be quite accurate but get a small proportion wrong. The challenge with skin cancer is that we cannot afford to miss even 1:10,000 cases

For an experienced front end dev yes - for the average dermatologist no chance!

This is true - there are more than 2000 different conditions in dermatology but the most important ones to recognise are skin cancers

There would be no reason to do this - skin lesions removed are almost always sent for pathological analysis even if expected to be harmless

That's great! I used the publicly available images from the ISIC challenge dataset which are CC licensed.

Thanks - I'm glad you found it useful! I have been meaning to make it for many years but could never justify the time involved until AI made it possible.

Yes we call this the "Ugly Duckling" sign

Yes a doctor would get a history which will help, however I get a high score on these images and another skin cancer doctor that commented also got a high score so in most cases th…

There are lots of apps that do this. It's (relatively) easy to get AI to perform at the same level of a dermatologist but liability/risk management/regulation is much harder to sol…

Thanks for your comment - the purpose of this app is patient education rather than diagnosis but I will definitely have a look at the relevant stats in more detail!

Will add this in next version!

It is randomized so probably just bad luck! FWIW I get a high score and another skin cancer doctor who commented also gets a high score so it is possible to make the diagnosis in m…

Thanks for your kind words with regards to the app and well done for getting such a high score!. I agree that BCC is often subtle. My practice is also largely focused on skin cance…

Thanks for the suggestion I will do this if I can source the images

Yes I could add this quite easily - will do in the next version

Lots of models out there but I would not trust any for diagnosis without review of a dermatologist yet. The challenge is unanticipated edge cases and managing risk/liability/regula…

Sorry - wasn't expecting anyone to use the app or any traction on HN! Will update

Thanks for this - and thanks for maintaining this incredibly useful resource. What would be the best way to contact you?

Thanks for this - I need to look at this more carefully
