MIAMI, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, August 5, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — – After receiving FDA clearance earlier this year, DermaSensor, Inc. has begun the highly anticipated rollout of its AI-powered spectroscopy device across the country. Among the first early adopters of this groundbreaking technology is SHIFT, a renowned concierge medicine practice based in Chicago, Illinois.
“At SHIFT, we prioritize high-quality, personalized care. The applied A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) technology in DermaSensor enhances our ability to evaluate skin lesions for prompt detection of cancer and heightened clinical decision-making. We are proud to be the first medical practice in the northern half of the United States to offer this innovative solution, and we are confident it will make a profound impact on our approach to skin health”, stated Dr. Brian Hollett, MD, Chief Medical Officer at SHIFT.
One out of five people by the age of 70 will have had some type of skin cancer in their life. With an estimated 5.5 million new cases each year*, the annual cost of treating skin cancers in the U.S. is estimated at $8.1 billion.

This cutting-edge technology, now embraced by esteemed practices like SHIFT, is poised to revolutionize skin care assessment.
