What if we helped you monitor skin cancer risks?

As an eligible member, you will have the opportunity to access a 12-month subscription* to take control of your skin health.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is SkinVision?

SkinVision is a medical service that helps you feel more in control of your skin health. It expands your ability to self-examine your skin and elevates your knowledge when to act, how and why. It is designed to provide accurate and timely skin spot risk indication, along with the most reliable personalised skin health advice and health path recommendation. At the centre of the service, SkinVision is a listed medical device that meets applicable Australian regulatory requirements, that merges AI technology with the expertise of skin health professionals and dermatologists. 

How can I be sure the SkinVision analysis is reputable? 

With over 90% sensitivity, SkinVision is clinically validated, combining advanced AI technology with oversight from a panel of dermatologists. The SkinVision Service uses an AI-based algorithm trained on a large collection of skin spot images assessed by qualified skin health professionals to deliver trusted results you can rely on.

How does SkinVision interact with medical professionals? 

SkinVision helps to guide your decision making about your skin, not to replace your doctor. You can easily track every spot with our body map, so you can monitor changes over time and share results with your GP. Members should continue to see their dermatologist at least once a year for a skin cancer screening, and if at all unsure of a mole or lesion you locate with an app, don’t delay seeing a doctor in-person for a professional opinion. 

Am I eligible for SkinVision?

Just enter in the promotional code found in the Online Member Centre when creating your SkinVision account within the mobile app.
