Scientists from the University of Waterloo are developing an artificial intelligence system that will detect melanoma at an early stage. The system will analyze images of formations on the skin and provide doctors with data on melanoma biomarkers.

Early diagnosis of melanoma could save many lives, scientists say.

Melanoma changes the concentration and distribution of eumelanin and hemoglobin. The intelligent system monitors these changes. Thanks to the system, doctors will be able to understand whether there is a need for a biopsy. It is likely that the new method will be used as early as next year..

Currently, most physicians are of differing opinions about whether to perform a biopsy after a subjective examination of the patient and suspicion of melanoma.. The new system will provide physicians with objective data on biomarkers, helping them make better decisions about further research methods and their appropriateness..

Scientists say the method they are developing will significantly speed up the process of diagnosing melanoma.
