DeepX Health’s DermoSightTM and skin cancer teledermatology service featured in a great BBC video interview about skin cancer prevention in people of color, as part of the BBC Morning Live program. Following the story of a patient with dark skin, who was diagnosed and successfully treated for melanoma, presenter Rhys Stephenson headed to a Boots pharmacy to have a mole scanned with DermoSight. Luckily, he was relieved to learn that he did not have melanoma, when the service sent him his diagnosis directly on his phone.

It is currently being used in primary care, as part of NHS services in GP clinics and in community pharmacies in the UK and in Europe, including the Walgreens Boots Alliance pharmacy chain Boots. DeepX Health has so far preformed about 180 thousand teledermoscopy assessments of skin lesions through its services offered to concerned consumers and doctors.
