Astrophysics meets dermatology: AI that maps moles like stars to catch melanoma early

This study tests an AI tool called MoleGazer that uses total body photography to track moles over time, similar to how astrophysicists map the night sky. The goal is to automatically spot new or changing moles that could be early signs of melanoma. Researchers are recruiting people at high risk for melanoma to take three-monthly photos, as well as others who already get total body photography as standard care. If it works, this approach could make melanoma detection faster and more accurate.
