Summary

This study tests whether a digital tool called MySmartSkin can help melanoma survivors do better skin self-exams. About 385 survivors will use either the enhanced app or a standard educational webpage. The goal is to see if the app leads to more thorough skin checks and earlier detection of new melanomas.
