Project description
Fast and early detection of skin cancer
Early detection of skin cancer can save lives. The EU-funded SWAN project will design an innovative technology to assist in its diagnosis. Specifically, it will enable full body scanning at dermoscopic resolution in just a few minutes. The solution captures key data that dermatologists acutely need for early diagnosis and provides pioneering AI triage assistance to flag concerning lesions. As such, significant medical time is saved in the process, allowing patients fast access to treatment when needed, reducing unnecessary biopsies and offering peace of mind. The solution combines hardware and software and uses patented technologies in real-time 3D human avatar generation, advanced robotic control, image processing and AI classification of lesions. SWAN envisages making best-in-class skin cancer screening accessible to everyone and everywhere.
Objective
Swan is a breakthrough solution to the enduring problem of detecting skin cancer early.
For the first time, Swan enables *full-body* scanning at *dermoscopic* resolution and in less than *3* minutes to the benefit of *all* stakeholders: patients, physicians, hospitals and payers.
The solution captures key data that dermatologists acutely need for early diagnosis and brings breakthrough AI triage assistance to flag concerning lesions. Significant medical time is saved in the process and for patients, the impact is faster access to treatment when needed, fewer unnecessary biopsies and peace of mind.
The solution combines hardware and software and is at the crossroads of cutting-edge, patented technologies in real-time 3D human avatar generation, advanced robotic control, image processing and AI classification of lesions.
Our ambition is to make best-in-class skin cancer screening accessible to everyone, everywhere and finally help dermatology make a quantum leap forward.
