New AI framework can precisely detect 85 percent of skin cancer

Research led by the University of Essex and Check4Cancer has developed a new AI framework that can detect 85 percent of skin cancer when combined with some of the existing assessment metrics. The framework called C4C Risk Score is embedded with skin lesion metadata collection, identification of a new list of skin cancer risk factors, and proposal of a new risk score, which effectively classifies skin lesions into suspicious and non-suspicious classes. This decision-aid by telemedicine reporters has proven its potency with a balanced accuracy of 71%.
