Researchers in Wales are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to develop an app that could fast-track skin cancer diagnoses.Ī team from the University of South Wales, in partnership with Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, took data from thousands of anonymous NHS patients to train an AI to understand what to look for when when evaluating potential skin cancers.Īssociate professor Dr Janusz Kulon, who is leading the team, said: “By being given access to the patient data and the outcomes of the examinations by specialists, including histopathology results, we can identify particular characteristics of any abnormalities which are especially diagnostically challenging and develop a more objective system to support GPs in diagnosing skin lesions.”
