Digital oncology apps: revolution or evolution?

Year: 2018
Type: editorial
Abstract: The UK's recent spell of hot and sunny weather serves as a reminder of the need to be cognisant of the association between increased sun exposure and heightened skin cancer risk. In a timely study presented at the British Association of Dermatologists' 98th Annual Meeting (July 3–5, 2018; Edinburgh, UK), researchers evaluated the increasing number of new digital apps to aid in skin cancer diagnosis that are entering the digital oncology market. Could such technologies revolutionise the detection and treatment of this disease? And how much do they—and the rapidly emerging digital health market as a whole—add to existing standards of care?
