Development of a Mobile Application for Skin Cancer Detection and Monitoring

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Skin cancer is a prevalent and potentially life-threatening condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. Early detection and monitoring of skin lesions are crucial for effective treatment and improved patient outcomes. In response to this need, this thesis presents the development of a mobile application for skin cancer detection and monitoring. The mobile application leverages advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence and image processing, to analyze images of skin lesions and provide users with real-time feedback on the likelihood of cancerous growth. The project begins with a comprehensive introduction to the significance of skin cancer detection and monitoring, highlighting the current challenges in the field. A thorough literature review is conducted to explore existing approaches to skin cancer detection, emphasizing the limitations and opportunities for improvement. The research methodology section outlines the design and implementation of the mobile application, including data collection, image processing algorithms, and model training. The findings of the study are discussed in detail in Chapter Four, where the performance of the mobile application in detecting and monitoring skin cancer lesions is evaluated. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and potential impact of the developed mobile application in assisting users in early detection and monitoring of skin cancer. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the advancement of skin cancer detection and monitoring through the development of a mobile application that integrates cutting-edge technologies. The mobile application has the potential to enhance accessibility to skin cancer screening tools, empower individuals to take proactive steps in managing their skin health, and ultimately improve the early detection rates of skin cancer. The findings of this study underscore the importance of leveraging technology to address critical healthcare challenges and pave the way for future research and innovation in the field of dermatology.
