Project Abstract

Abstract
Skin cancer is a prevalent and potentially life-threatening disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Early detection and monitoring of skin lesions are crucial in improving the prognosis and survival rates of patients. The advancement of mobile technology has opened up new possibilities for innovative solutions in healthcare, including the development of mobile applications for skin cancer detection and monitoring. This research project aims to develop a mobile application specifically designed for skin cancer detection and monitoring. The application will utilize advanced image processing algorithms and artificial intelligence techniques to analyze images of skin lesions and provide real-time feedback on the likelihood of skin cancer presence. The mobile app will also offer features for users to track changes in their skin lesions over time, enabling them to monitor any potential signs of skin cancer development. Chapter One of the research will provide an introduction to the project, discussing the background of the study, the problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the research, and definitions of key terms. Chapter Two will present a comprehensive literature review on existing mobile applications and technologies related to skin cancer detection and monitoring. In Chapter Three, the research methodology will be detailed, including the development process of the mobile application, selection of image processing algorithms, data collection methods, and evaluation criteria. The chapter will also cover ethical considerations and potential challenges faced during the research. Chapter Four will focus on the discussion of findings from the development and testing of the mobile application. This chapter will analyze the effectiveness and accuracy of the application in detecting and monitoring skin lesions, as well as user feedback and suggestions for improvement. Finally, Chapter Five will provide a conclusion and summary of the research project, highlighting the key findings, contributions to the field of dermatology, limitations, future research directions, and recommendations for the implementation and adoption of the mobile application for skin cancer detection and monitoring. Overall, this research project aims to make a significant contribution to the field of dermatology by introducing an innovative mobile solution for skin cancer detection and monitoring. The development of this mobile application has the potential to enhance early detection rates, improve patient outcomes, and ultimately save lives.
