| UMSkinCheck Keeps a Temporal Record of Users Skin for Surveillance of Dermatologic Cancers Posted: 16 Jul 2012 10:32 AM PDT  Skin cancer is an unusual cancer in that it often hides in plain sight, looking like pimples, warts, and other benign growths. A regular full body photo-exam professionally done at a clinic can be useful as a screening tool for early cancer detection, but it’s time consuming, can be expensive, and may not appeal to people who don’t like to undress in front of strangers. A team of researchers at the University of Michigan Health System, including practicing physicians, developed an iPhone/iPad app called UMSkinCheck for performing self exams and for visual surveillance of suspicious moles and legions over time. The app stores 23 shots from each of the previous self exams, comprising the skin surface of the entire body, and permits tracking of objects on the skin from one photo exam to the next.
