Abstract:

The increasing use of Smartphone and Tablet , their on-board sensors and increasing computational power show immense promise for improved mobile health technologies , one of the medical areas which needs this technologies is skin analysis to identify diseases . In this paper, we describe an innovative development of a low cost smartphone based intelligent system using integrated camera. The advantage of this solution is that patients in remote areas, poor and developing countries can scan, analyze and make regular skin examinations in any place. In this paper, an Artificial Neural Network algorithm is used to analyze the skin images to identify cancer. © 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
