AI Boosts Skin Cancer Diagnoses, Study Says

WEDNESDAY, June 18, 2025 (HealthDay News) — An experimental AI tool can help speed detection of melanoma and other skin diseases, a new study says.

The tool, PanDerm, improved accuracy of skin cancer diagnoses by 11% when used by doctors, researchers reported recently in the journal Nature Medicine.

It also helped doctors improve by nearly 17% accurate diagnosis of other skin conditions, researchers said.

“PanDerm is a tool designed to work alongside clinicians, helping them interpret complex imaging data and make informed decisions with more confidence,” senior researcher Zongyuan Ge said in a news release. He’s an associate professor of data science and AI at Monash University in Australia.
