Artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to speed up diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer for NHS and private patients thanks to a partnership between award-winning cancer screening and diagnosis healthcare provider Check4Cancer and researchers at the University of Essex.
The new Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP), supported by a grant from Innovate UK, will use artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse images to detect skin cancer at an early stage. The project will develop an AI powered model based on Check4Cancer’s vast bank of skin lesion images which are all labelled with a wealth of clinical information. Skin lesions are any skin area with different characteristics from the surrounding skin, including colour, shape, or texture, so can be an indicator of various conditions including skin cancer.
