Skin Cancer Screening | Full-body Skin Mapping

EVERY MOLE. EVERY MONTH.

Constellation is an imaging system that empowers patients to conduct quick, cost-effective, full body scans every month in the privacy of their homes, or in health clubs, doctors’ offices and other commercial settings. Signs of skin cancer are detected as early as possible, dramatically increasing patient survival rates. Unlike applications currently on the market, Constellation is the only solution that detects changes in moles over time — which is critical to early detection.

I believe Constellation will greatly reduce the death rate from Melanoma and may even eliminate it completely.

HOW IT WORKS: PATENTED CLOUD-BASED COMPUTER VISION

Capture

A camera array captures images of your entire skin surface.

Image Stitching

A local computer stitches the images into a high-resolution square map. While all moles are clearly visible, privacy is maintained.

Change Detection

Your map is uploaded to secure servers that alert you to any potential signs of skin cancer. You can print images that clearly show changes in moles over time, and share them with your dermatologist.

WHY IT MATTERS

A survival rate of 94% vs. 49%.
Early detection makes all the difference.

Every seven minutes, another person in the U.S. is diagnosed with melanoma. Change detection is the best and earliest indicator. When diagnosed early, simple mole removal is highly effective in treating even the most lethal of skin cancers. Among patients who present with a melanoma that is already greater than 4mm in thickness, the five-year survival rate plummets to 49%. And there is virtually no effective treatment after metastasis.¹

By giving patients the ability to conduct monthly skin cancer screenings at home, we can help patients and their physicians detect the signs of skin cancer earlier, discuss mole removal sooner, and save lives.
