Hello everyone! I'm Samar and I'm a co-founder of Skin Surveyor. As a UK surgeon training towards a career in plastic surgery, I couldn't help but notice the huge burden that skin conditions impose upon patients, families and the health service. Skin cancers in particular are among the most prevalent cancers globally and can affect individuals recurrently. They can cause significant distress as they aren't always straightforward to diagnose. And of course, they can be deadly. Besides cancers, issues affecting the skin in general are a significant cause of visits to healthcare providers. Conditions like psoriasis, eczema and lupus, to name a few, can affect patients for life. People don't have an effective means of monitoring skin conditions independently. I faced this issue in clinics where patients often wouldn't remember exactly where their skin lesion is, when it first appeared, how it changed in appearance or what treatments they had previously received. This information is vital for planning treatment - you don't want to cut out the wrong lesion due to poor recall! So I worked with my brother, a PhD in Maths and Computer Science and my co-founder, to design Skin Surveyor. It's an easy-to-use platform accessible from any device for tracking any skin condition. The main objectives are as follows: 1) Keep an accurate visual record of every skin issue you have. 2) Do the same for family members (particularly children) from one account. 3) Document any treatments received (products, ointments, tablets, surgeries, etc.) and observe results following these. 4) Rapidly generate shareable PDF files containing all images of a particular skin issue to send to your/your child's doctor, take to an appointment or store for your own records. 5) Easily notice changes in a particular lesion and seek medical attention early. 6) Offer educational content on how to self-examine skin, signs to look out for and information on various skin conditions. 7) Objective means of assessing which skincare products work for you. 8) (Coming soon) The option to share images with the community so others can learn about your condition, diagnoses, treatments and results, and therefore be better equipped to deal with their own issues. 9) Take high quality dermatoscopic images by purchasing a phone mounted dermatoscope from Skin Surveyor. 10) Monitor post operative wounds for signs of infection and breakdown. Our mission is to help people transform their approach to skincare, enable early detection of malignant skin disease and save lives globally. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback.
