Development of a Mobile Application for Skin Cancer Detection and Monitoring

Thesis Abstract

**Abstract
** The rise in skin cancer cases worldwide calls for the urgent need to improve early detection methods and monitoring techniques. This thesis presents the development of a mobile application aimed at enhancing skin cancer detection and monitoring processes. The project utilizes cutting-edge technology and image analysis algorithms to provide users with a user-friendly platform for self-assessment and tracking of skin lesions. The thesis begins with a comprehensive introduction, highlighting the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, and the structure of the thesis. Chapter two delves into a thorough literature review covering ten key aspects related to skin cancer detection, mobile applications in healthcare, image analysis algorithms, and current technologies in dermatology. Chapter three outlines the research methodology employed in the development of the mobile application. It includes details on the design process, data collection methods, algorithm development, user interface design, and testing procedures. The chapter also discusses ethical considerations and challenges faced during the project. Chapter four provides an in-depth discussion of the findings obtained through the development and testing of the mobile application. It presents results from user testing, accuracy assessments of the image analysis algorithms, and feedback from dermatologists and healthcare professionals involved in the validation process. Finally, chapter five presents the conclusion and summary of the project thesis. The mobile application demonstrated promising results in improving skin cancer detection accuracy and providing users with a convenient tool for monitoring skin lesions. The thesis concludes with recommendations for future research and potential enhancements to the mobile application to further enhance its usability and effectiveness in clinical practice. Overall, the development of a mobile application for skin cancer detection and monitoring represents a significant advancement in leveraging technology to address critical healthcare challenges.
