Experience with Melatect app for detection

Hi, new to this community and thanks for any input in advance. Have dowloaded and used Melatect and Scanoma to see if they validate or contradict each other for accuracy. Melatect seems to have more rigorus development behind it. It has shown that I have multiple potential malignant lesions. Anyone here have any experience with accuracy. Much appreciated and thanks!

  1. Hello and thank you for posting this. I have not seen an app like this with an accraccy this high. Do you have a link we can find to download this? I would like to upload pictures I have that I know have been confirmed as melonoma, just to see how it works.

    I started just taking pictures and putting in a library to keep track of any moles I feel should be watched, and just keep an eye on them to see if they evolve. That so far seems to work best, and is they best way to get a doctor to take notice; if they are changing.

    I do have a Molescope 2 to get better pictures, that helps also when showing a doctor that a mole or spot is changing, getting more detail. I also have a device called Nota Mole. It works by measuring the impedance of the skin. Normal skin will have a differant impedance than abnormal skin. It works pretty good, but can be a bit finicky getting a good reading.

    Anyway, any information you can provide would be great, like you experience and if it caught anything for you. I will try to get ahold of it and try it myself.

    Thank you.


    1. I downloaded from Apple store. I have Apple 15 Pro, so I can get good pics. Hope this helps! And thanks for sharing your info. Carl
