Historic Milestone Achieved: AI-Powered #ProjectCheckMate Marks a Pioneering Breakthrough in Skin Cancer Detection
In an extraordinary feat, the inaugural deployment of #ProjectCheckMate has ushered in a new era of skin cancer detection.
Over the course of three days, two clinic rooms screened a staggering 189 individuals, capturing 366 clinical images and identifying 55 suspicious spots, potentially averting 12 cases of melanoma, 8 basal cell carcinomas (BCC), and 16 squamous cell carcinomas (SCC).
This groundbreaking initiative, a collaboration between Skin Check Champions and our esteemed partners, has not only demonstrated the remarkable capabilities of Artificial Intelligence and nurse training in regional healthcare, but also represents a significant leap forward in cancer screening. Codenamed #ProjectCheckMate, this venture pioneers a more efficient and effective approach to targeted skin cancer strategy.
Acknowledgements extend to the remarkable dedication and expertise of our partners:
- UniversitySA, whose commitment to empowering nurses and enhancing healthcare capacity in high-risk communities has been instrumental.
- SkinSmartAus, whose tireless efforts and unwavering commitment to the cause have set a new standard in training and implementation.
- Dr. Steve Brooks and the exceptional team at SkinTechMedical, whose enthusiastic reception of this experience exemplified their dedication to advancing healthcare.
Additional gratitude is extended to MetaOptima, whose cutting-edge AI technology played a pivotal role in this milestone achievement. The support of Jarvis Skoda and their fleet of spacious vehicles, as well as La Roche-Posay, whose unwavering belief and provision of vital resources, including sunscreen, was invaluable.
The resounding success of #ProjectCheckMate would not have been possible without the steadfast support of our community, whose likes, shares, donations, and unwavering encouragement propelled us to this momentous achievement.
