Our Development
At NWC Technologies, we are revolutionising the early detection and management of melanoma by developing CR∞K Diagnostics. This innovative solution combines a clinical reasoning AI-powered application with a cost-effective, portable 8K imaging device designed to streamline diagnostic workflows and reduce current melanoma detection methods inefficiencies. By empowering General Practitioners (GPs) with tools to independently capture medical-grade images of skin lesions and analyse them with AI-driven precision, CR∞K Diagnostics aims to reduce unnecessary dermatology referrals by up to 60%. This breakthrough technology supports early detection, improving patient outcomes while alleviating pressure on dermatology services.
The AI-Powered Application
At the heart of CR∞K Diagnostics is an advanced AI-powered application that simulates dermatologists' diagnostic reasoning. Using state-of-the-art algorithms, the app provides real-time lesion analysis to help GPs distinguish between benign and malignant lesions with high sensitivity and specificity. The app enhances trust in its decisions by offering detailed clinical reasoning behind its classifications and improves diagnostic precision. It also tracks lesion changes over time, enabling proactive management and ensuring GPs can offer consistent, informed patient care. Designed with input from clinicians, the app integrates seamlessly into GP workflows, making it an intuitive and accessible tool for everyday clinical practice.
The 8K Imaging Device
Complementing the AI app is a compact, portable 8K imaging device that captures high-resolution, clinical-grade images of skin lesions. This device incorporates an 8K camera module and built-in LED lighting, ensuring even illumination and accurate colour capture so that the quality of the images matches that of traditional DSLR systems. The device’s user-friendly design prioritises portability, making it easy for GPs to capture professional-grade images directly within their practice. Unlike traditional systems, the 8K imaging device is cost-effective, Bluetooth-enabled, and seamlessly integrates into existing clinical workflows, eliminating the need for external referrals and enhancing efficiency. This solution addresses the need for affordable, reliable diagnostic tools, ultimately transforming melanoma care by providing a scalable, accessible imaging solution for primary care settings.
