How it works
Greater accuracy with less ambiguity
Artificial intelligence meets biology
Leveraging artificial intelligence-based technology, DiffDx-Melanoma is an objective test with a high level of accuracy, low technical failure, low intermediate risk, and an inclusion of a variety of both benign nevi and malignant lesions.
35 genes
Neural networks are used to identify 32 genes spanning a range of important biological processes, along with 3 control genes, to best classify melanocytic lesions.
2 algorithms
Two proprietary algorithms are applied to the gene expression patterns to identify the malignant potential of a lesion.
1 result
One clinically actionable result in over 96% of the cases including multiple types of benign nevi and malignant melanoma.
