About
Skin Cancer Scanning is a medical device company focused on developing and marketing a noninvasive, painless test to improve early detection and more accurately diagnose skin cancer and precancerous lesions. SkinScan 650 seeks toenable physicians to diagnose skin cancer at an earlier, more curable stage, with fewer false-positive biopsies. This would reduce treatment costs and the number of unnecessary biopsies, and improve quality of life. The device diagnoses lesions by using light reflectance in the visual and infrared range of the spectrum. In addition, thetechnology has the ability to diagnose non-melanoma skin cancers with a high sensitivity and specificity rate. When used correctly by physicians, theSkinScan 650 will significantly improve the capabilityto diagnose skin cancer. SkinScan 650H is a noninvasive, battery-powered skin cancer-scanning device the size of an electric toothbrush, for home-use. It uses light waves from an LED to analyze a mole in seconds, providing a quick and reliable skin cancer diagnosis. The prototype has been clinically tested, producing scans that are 90% accurate.
