MoleMate™ is a non-invasive, rapid, and painless melanoma screening device that has been specifically designed with and for General Practitioners and skin specialists

MoleMate is a non-invasive, rapid and painless melanoma screening device that has been specifically designed for Skin Specialists and Doctors. By assisting and accelerating the diagnostic process, MoleMate enables our medical staff to quickly scan and make a decision to refer a patient or immediately assure them that their lesion is not suspicious

MoleMate comprises a hand-held scanner and software that uses SIAscopy, the skin imaging technology that scans and visualises haemoglobin, melanin, dermal melanin and collagen (SIAscans) up to 2mm under the skin.  The MoleMate device aids in the detection of many types of suspicious lesions at the early stages, before they become apparent to the naked eye. 

Molemate produces a patient report that includes patients SIAscans together with data for the patient to take home.

MoleMate scans displays high resolution haemoglobin, melanin,dermal melanin and collagen SIAscans within seconds.  The MoleMate Scoring System was developed in conjunction with Medical Practitioners and Cambridge University Teaching Hospital in the UK.
