We analyze images of skin lesions and give a probability whether they are malignant melanoma. The analysis is performed on-board on mobile phones.

Thats super cool. We built a simmilar simple app on a Hackathon. We are getting 90% Accuracy nowadays. We opensourced it at https://github.com/kuboris/smartoscope We should add an App for download as soon as our Android developer fixes some minor bugs. The plan is to make it open to use any model so people can train and provide their own. Any advice ? :)

do you worry about the weights of your net being stolen off the app through reverse engineering?

[klancaster]

It is a bit of concern, but we are not out in the wild yet so we have time to look at ways to protect the IP.

Hey, sounds interesting. Would you share the name of your company/ startup?

At this point, it is university research. The work has been published, and we are in clinical trials in prep for commercialization.

Is this just for melanoma, or has it expanded into pap smear and bronch territory? My mother's a cytotech and every couple of years somebody claims they're going to replace her with a shell script. Hasn't happened yet, though.

We are expanding it to a number of skin and ocular diseases.

Do you mind sharing a link to the research?
