Speech Title: Development of Mobile Application for Skin Cancer Detection Using Deep Learning Models

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly advanced in recent years, leading to a significant shift in its applications. This talk explores the crucial role of AI and Deep Learning techniques in healthcare with a special focus on melanoma detection. We evaluated four fine-tuned deep neural models; MobileNetV2, MobileNetV3, EfficientNetV2, and ResNet50 to explore their potential in accurately classifying skin lesions. Among these models, MobileNetV3 outperformed the others in categorizing four types of skin cancer. The developed app leverages the MobileNetV3 model to provide a quick and reliable tool for early diagnosis, thereby broadening access to life-saving interventions and reducing the burden of treatments on healthcare systems.
