Episode 48: The Story of Skin Analytics and Dermatology AI 🧴☀️

Can AI diagnose skin cancer as well as a dermatologist? The answer is yes and it’s was proved this month by my guest this week, Neil Daly from Skin Analytics. It’s a UK based healthtech company whose DERM product featured in JAMA, The Journal of the American Medical Association for its ability to catch melanomas as sensitive and specific as a dermatology specialist. Skin Analytics’ ambition is to help more people survive skin cancer by using their proprietary AI technology to improve access to high quality skin cancer screening. Neil started the company in 2012, having worked extensively in mobile innovation and strategy consulting for a number of years. He holds a BSc in Physics from the University of Western Australia and an Executive MBA from London Business School. Skin Analytics are working with a number of healthcare organisations in the UK and Australia and the recent study in JAMA was conducted across 7 NHS sites in the UK, led by the Royal Free London NHS Trust.
