Excellent

I found the app very easy to use, and the functions of it are quite broad. I submitted an image to the scanoma doctor and received a thorough response in a very short period of time with recommended steps. Very much appreciated. This has been very helpful.

Helped catch melanoma!

I noticed an irregular mole on my forearm and kept snapping pics of it on here as it evolved. The app determined it to be concerning, so I went to the dermatologist and found out it was melanoma. So thankful this app helped me get to the doctor as my biopsy showed I was only .1mm away from the melanoma entering my bloodstream.

Exact diagnosis

I tried this app to try to ease my anxiety over a suspicious spot, while I waited for a derm appt. Your diagnosis was exactly spot on, no pun intended. Seborrheic keratosis.
Thank you. Worth the $30 for a few days peace of mind.

Thank you for being so helpful
I live in a quite remote place so it was great to get a opinion on my lesion so promptly 👨🏻‍🌾

Benign Mole

I may have gotten caught up in the moment but a mole on my lower abdomen appeared to be growing. I hadn’t noticed it in some time and so I researched my options a bit. Scanoma popped up as an option. Though the original AI generated response did create a bit of alarm (-1), it was something I can live with, and the quick response from Dr. Maxhar’s allowed me to relax and be objective moving forward. I will make an appointment with my dermatologist if I see any change and get on with my week. So much easier than making an appointment and the possible wait to get in. Cheaper too! I am comfortable with this course of action.

Useless for kids and rip off

Will charge you the money for a doctor and then only at the end, tell you that they won’t do it for children under 13

Response from developer

Scanoma is not intended for children. As stated in the app description, scanoma does not diagnose patients under the age the age of 13. We’ve issued you a full refund and encourage you to visit a local doctor. Thank you for trying scanoma and wish you and your children the best of health.

Very good and quick response

Hi

As a sufferer from health anxiety I always like to check myself over from time to time. Very impressed with the response from the dermatologist who took the time to check my mole. She put my mind at ease. Thankyou very much. Will be using again to keep monitoring any suspicious spots.

Fast, easy, and helpful for anxiety

As someone with health anxiety, I downloaded this app last night because of a spot on my lip that hasn’t went away for months. Everyone in my family said it was fine but I still have an appointment scheduled with a dermatologist in a month. For me, waiting a month was too long and I was far too anxious to wait so I decided to pay the $29 for some peace of mind while i wait for my derm appt. The AI said my picture was possibly concerning with a confidence of 63%, and the doctor quickly responded to the image letting me know that the lesion showed no signs of cancer and wasn’t concerning. They still recommended I see a doctor (with which I will) and monitor it for changes. This app did a tremendous job soothing my health anxiety until I see an in person doctor. Thank you!!

Quick response

A derm contacted me within minutes and explained what she was seeing in my photo. Gave me lots of info about what it could be and how to treat it for a few weeks and if it doesn't improve to go see a derm in my city! Nice! Very well done!!

Thank you very much for your review!

Possibly saved my life

This app correctly identified a ‘concerning’ mole that turned out to be melanoma. It’s a quick and easy way to see if further action need to be taken on any mole in question
