What would I do with such a device?
Let's say I have a suspicious mole, I use the device and test it. The output can be one of two:
1. This is a dangerous mole! see a dermatologist immediately.
Consequence: I go to the doctor
2. This mole is clear.
Consequence: I go to the doctor anyway, because this is not an FDA approved device and there's no guarantee for the accuracy. A doctor knows his/hers ass is on the line if he/she misdiagnoses a patient. Reading your terms of use, you waive all warranty for the accuracy of the device.

- notamoletracker 5y agolook, let's be honest - will it make you feel better if they punish the doctor who missed your cancer? yes, you will not care about it, and all thoughts will be about how to achieve remission. I personally communicate with several people who have missed melanoma and they are now at stage 4 with brain metastases. yes, the doctor's license was revoked. but the cancer hasn't gone away
- notamoletracker 5y agowe will soon put the necessary certificates FDA on the site, so that you do not worry. we do not encourage you to refuse to go to the doctor, if you have such an opportunity. and as for your scenarios - the app has the ability to refine the measurements. if your mole is healthy and the doctor has confirmed it, specify it in the application. then, if there are any changes, the device will show them. especially if there have already been precedents with melanoma or other types of skin cancer.
