How an Image-Recognition-Based App for Veterinarians Can Increase the Prognosis of Dogs with Skin Cancer By Over 5 Years
Our mission
To make veterinary diagnostics more affordable and accessible
In the US and Canada, the lack of veterinary testing due to high veterinary diagnostic costs is decreasing the lifespan of dogs diagnosed with skin cancer by up to 5 years. Lynx's mission is to make skin cancer testing for dogs more affordable, allowing pets to get the treatment options they deserve and live healthier and longer lives.

The process
How Lynx is used
Visual data collection
To receive a predicted diagnosis for a patient, veterinarians first use Lynx’s Screening Camera on Lynx’s mobile app to take an image of the dog’s lesion.
Nonvisual data collection
To increase the accuracy of the predicted diagnosis, veterinarians will enter information about the patient that could influence their diagnosis.
Receiving a predicted diagnosis
In a matter of minutes, a predicted diagnosis is available to veterinarians on the desktop app, and treatment plans can be discussed the day of the appointment.
An accurate, non invasive method of pre screening would be an incredibly useful tool in daily practice. It could help to catch potentially cancerous masses while still treatable.

I'm very intrigued by the prospect of being able to offer a visually-based alternative to clinical cytology with a cell-phone app.
