We’re working for a world where no one dies from skin cancer by deploying our AI medical device, DERM, to create the world’s most advanced skin cancer pathways. Skin Analytics are proud to work with NHS dermatology teams to deploy AI powered skin cancer pathways. Our pathways enable NHS organisations to discharge benign lesions earlier in the pathway and therefore tackle backlog, free up out-patient delays and crucially, reserve limited dermatology capacity to prioritise patients with skin cancer by focusing on providing potentially life-saving treatment. Some things we’re a little bit proud of: 🚀We’ve deployed with 18 NHS partners across primary and secondary care since 2020 🥇We’re the first and only AI skin cancer pathway within the NHS ✅DERM is the only Class IIa UKCA marked and Class III CE marked AI as a Medical Device for skin cancer 🤯DERM is used in pathways that have seen over 135,000 NHS patients and identified more than 13,000 cancers 💪We’ve helped NHS organisations avoid up to 95% of face-to-face appointments in secondary care 🤳We provide Bupa and Vitalitys remote skin assessment service ❤️Everything we do is in pursuit of better patients outcomes that are sustainable for health systems, globally

Ideas worth spreading in Germanys most innovative and most creative City TEDxBerlin’s mission is to find and support people with outstanding ideas and new projects worth spreading all over the world. We would like to give these people a voice at TEDxBerlin. TEDxBerlin wants to share and discuss ideas that have the power and potential to make a difference in our lives and in our world. We want to connect with people who have the same passion as we do. This independent TEDx event is operated under license from TED. Berlin is the perfect breeding place for powerful ideas. That is why Berlin and TEDx is a great and wise combination. You might think: Well, if Berlin is already such an innovative city, why do we need a TEDx conference here? Because especially in Berlin, there is so much information everywhere you might not even know where to look for it. Secondly, it is usually really hard to gain access to certain innovative thinkers because they limit their exposure to their specific interest groups. At TEDxBerlin, you have the chance to hear from inspiring German and international speakers coming from the fields of technology, entertainment, and design, plus you can meet your fellow participants who are just as inspiring as the speakers. Networking nowadays might be mainly taking place on the internet but the personal contact and sharing of ideas and concepts should not be underestimated. TEDxBerlin is hosted by Stephan Balzer.
