A concept of an integrated system for monitoring changes on the human skin

In this study, a concept of an integrated system for monitoring changes on the human skin is presented. The system is based on a static or mobile self-service front-end facility. Its purpose is to support an early detection of abnormal changes on the skin surface within a skin cancer prevention scheme, especially in the countries or areas where the public health care is not appropriate or widely available. Periodically performed skin self-examination is useful but subjective, and thus not reliable. To provide a more reliable method of skin examination, a design concept of a front-end facility is introduced. The facility can be a mobile booth that can be easily mounted in a public place with only few installation demands or it can be a permanent facility inside a building. It would be capable of making automatic video recordings or of taking photographs and, based on the given user ID, of comparing samples and detecting changes via a connection to the central monitoring system. Advantages of the system would be its accessibility for general public, unmanned operation, and a centralized database and detection system operated by medical experts.
