MelaScan
AI-based Melanoma Detection in a Snap! Our goal is to build a decision support system to help general practitioners to detect melanoma in its early stage.
October –– TUM.ai: Makeathon
I was a bit late with the application and so lucky to got in. It was a fun experience, where I and three other computer science students built an AI Product for dermatologists around the world to detect early skin cancer in patients.
I learned how to research data and create a great pitch in very short time. It took us three days to finish it. The very first day was got to know each other and understand the valuing system from investors. The second and third day was where we made our product into a real solution and pitched them.
My teammates didn't sleep for the last day, because our AI still needed to absorb all the anonymous data we collected from Microsoft Azure. We then immediately pitched it in the afternoon. You can see our 10-minute pitch down here 👇.
Overall, we didn't win the Makeathon, but we learned a lot about making better product and thinking in long term for business plan. I think, these were hardest part for me to understand, since I come from traditional medical school. Here's a certificate to prove that I'm legit! 😊
