Show Notes
Skin Analytics has built AI technology that can spot skin cancer from a photo, and health systems use it to check patients faster and catch more cases early. Earlier this year, it got approval across Europe to check for skin cancer using just a smartphone camera, with no doctor needed to review each case. It has already found more than 25,000 cancers across the NHS.
Neil Daly is Founder and CEO of Skin Analytics. His goal is to make sure no one dies from skin cancer, because caught early enough, it's almost always curable.
