Catalonia develops artificial intelligence tools to detect skin cancer

Catalonia develops #artificialintelligence tools to detect skin cancer. There are several doctors who defend that good use of it, and always under professional supervision, can serve to more accurately detect cancerous lesions that the human eye would miss. high. That is why skin cancer (some of its lesions are very small or difficult to detect) is one of the first fields in which to use AI. #DrMalvehy "AI allows us to classify tumors, as well as do precision medicine," defended #JosepMalvehy, coordinator of the Skin Cancer and Innovation Unit of the Institute of Medicine and Dermatology of the Hospital Clínic of Barcelona. #DrMalvehy " Access to a dermatologist will be increasingly difficult in Europe because skin cancer continues to increase," acknowledged Malvehy, who has defended the "fundamental" role that primary care plays in this regard. That is why he predicted that, in the near future, primary doctors will use specialized scanners and algorithms to detect these lesions, and thus they will be able to refer only patients who are seriously ill to a dermatologist (and not all, as is done now, to that the specialist assesses).
