Skin Cancer Detection in Diverse Skin Tones by Machine Learning Combining Audio and Visual Convolutional Neural Networks.

Introduction: Skin cancer (SC) is common in fair skin (FS) at a 1:5 lifetime incidence for nonmelanoma skin cancer. In order to assist clinicians' decisions, a risk intervention technology was developed, which combines a dual-mode machine learning of visual and sonified (pixel to sound) data. The addition of an audio technology enhances malignant features of lesions, increases sensitivity and was previously validated under a prospective clinical setting in FS.
