MelaGuard is a powerful yet lightweight mobile application that uses deep learning and advanced computer vision techniques to detect melanoma — one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer — in less than a second. Built for speed, accuracy, and ease of use, MelaGuard offers early risk detection right from the palm of your hand.

Skin cancer is responsible for over 60,000 deaths worldwide every year, and melanoma causes nearly 70% of these fatalities. Early detection is critical — it can drastically improve survival rates and reduce treatment costs. MelaGuard aims to support users by offering a fast, AI-assisted preliminary screening tool that brings awareness and encourages timely medical consultation.

With MelaGuard, diagnosing a suspicious skin lesion is as simple as tapping a button. The app features an intuitive "Diagnose" button, which opens your camera and allows you to take a clear photo of the skin lesion or mole. Once the image is captured, MelaGuard’s intelligent algorithm analyzes the lesion and determines whether it shows signs of melanoma. The result is displayed in real-time, along with a confidence score. If the lesion is likely to be melanoma, the app will clearly indicate "Melanoma Detected." If not, the result will show "Non-Melanoma."

MelaGuard uses a custom-trained AI model developed with a combination of convolutional neural networks, including Inception and Residual layers, optimized for mobile performance using TensorFlow Lite. The app runs entirely on your device and does not require an internet connection after installation, ensuring privacy and offline usability. The model accepts high-resolution images and processes them with efficient preprocessing steps like hair removal, noise filtering, and histogram equalization, improving the clarity and reliability of the analysis.
