iToBoS has been presented in Innovación Médica (Medical Innovation), a Spanish media aimed at medical research, management, technology and health services, addressed to the specialist hospital and primary care physicians.
The work states that artificial intelligence tools will allow the doctors a complex approach to the patients. The incidence of skin cancer in Spain, one of the conditions of greatest concern in dermatology, is between 350 and 400 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Despite the significant prevalence of skin cancer today, it is observed that the incidence of melanoma increases less in younger generations than in older generations.
iToBoS project is presented as a European project to improve the early detection of melanoma, which will devise an artificial intelligence (AI) system capable of integrating information from different sources, ranging from dermoscopic images and complete medical records to genomic data obtained from a saliva sample. The goal is to help health professionals to make a comprehensive diagnosis of skin cancer personalized for the patient, which will lead to better detection rates and highly personalized diagnosis. Furthermore, through successive scans, the system will also be able to robustly determine changes occurring in individual moles, a key feature considered to be one of the most informative in skin cancer detection.
