UTulsa students showcase skin cancer detection app on a global stage
|
|
|
Summertime is in full swing, and at The University of Tulsa, two student entrepreneurs are addressing early skin cancer detection with a mobile app called SkinCheck. Julian Abhari, a recent computer science and cybersecurity graduate, began developing this software after his mother’s battle with melanoma. Partnering with MBA student Daniel Marques, who has a background in venture capital, the duo has helped 95,000 people access care. SkinCheck gained international recognition as a finalist at the SXSW Pitch Competition, thanks to support from UTulsa. Though they didn’t win, they were named "Fan Favorite." With over 115,000 downloads and 11,000 active users, Abhari now focuses full-time on advancing the app, motivated by the importance of early skin cancer detection.
