Project Abstract

Abstract
The increasing incidence of skin cancer worldwide has highlighted the need for innovative approaches to early detection and monitoring of this potentially life-threatening disease. In response to this challenge, this research project focuses on the development of a mobile application specifically designed for skin cancer detection and monitoring. The aim of this study is to leverage the capabilities of mobile technology to provide individuals with a user-friendly and accessible tool for self-assessment of suspicious skin lesions, thereby enabling early detection and timely intervention. The research begins with a comprehensive review of existing literature on skin cancer, mobile health applications, and image recognition technology. This literature review highlights the current gaps in skin cancer detection methods and the potential of mobile applications to address these gaps effectively. By analyzing the strengths and limitations of existing technologies and research studies, this research aims to identify the key features and functionalities that should be incorporated into the proposed mobile application. The methodology chapter outlines the research design and implementation plan for developing the mobile application. This includes the selection of appropriate image recognition algorithms, user interface design considerations, data collection and analysis methods, and usability testing procedures. By adopting a systematic and iterative approach to application development, this research ensures that the final product meets the needs and expectations of end users while maintaining high accuracy and reliability in skin cancer detection. The discussion of findings chapter presents the results of usability testing and validation studies conducted to evaluate the performance of the mobile application. Through user feedback, accuracy assessments, and comparison with existing diagnostic methods, this research demonstrates the effectiveness and potential impact of the developed application in enhancing early detection rates and improving patient outcomes. The implications of these findings for clinical practice, public health policy, and future research directions are also discussed in this chapter. In conclusion, the development of a mobile application for skin cancer detection and monitoring represents a significant advancement in the field of dermatology and digital health. By empowering individuals to proactively monitor their skin health and seek medical attention when necessary, this technology has the potential to enhance early diagnosis, reduce treatment delays, and ultimately save lives. The successful implementation of this research project underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, technological innovation, and patient-centered care in addressing the global burden of skin cancer.
