Pentru ca iDevice-urile au devenit atat de importante in vietile a sute de milioane de oameni de pe glob, universitatea din Michigan s-a gandit sa faca o aplicatie speciala care sa permita oamenilor sa descopere cancerul de piele. Aplicatia este foarte simpla si foloseste 23 de poze ale intregului corp inregistrate cu aparatul nostru pentru a detecta existena unor elemente care ar putea indica faptul ca utilizatorul are intr-adevar cancer de piele. Desigur ca aplicatia nu trebuie privita cu intreaga incredere a utilizatorului, insa daca ea detecteaza vreo problema, atunci ar fi bine sa faceti un control medical.
UMSkinCheck is intended for skin cancer self exam and surveillance that allows users to complete and store a full body photographic library, track detected moles/lesions, access informational videos and literature and fill out a melanoma risk calculator. A skin cancer self exam is used to identify suspicious moles or lesions that may be cancer or growths that may develop into skin cancer (precancers). Individuals who are at a high risk of skin cancer are encouraged to perform frequent skin self exams and to have full body photographic surveys taken by professional photographers. Using UMSkinCheck, patients will be able to complete a full skin cancer self exam and photo survey, track and create a history of moles and lesions and receive regular reminders to perform follow up self exams and check on lesions that are being tracked.
Acest gen de aplicatii ne demonstreaza inca o data cat de importante sunt smartphone-urile si tabletele, dar si cat de utile pot fi ele in salvarea vietilor sau imbunatatirea lor. Aplicatia dezvoltata de catre universitatea americana se numeste UMSkinCheck, insa ea poate fi descarcata numai din App Store SUA urmand acest link.
