Our goal is to create a pen-sized device with a 2 mm diameter tip that passes current through moles on the skin. Rapidly developing cancer cells in the mole would yield a lower impedance, or resistance, to this current than noncancerous moles, which is the basis for this diagnostic tool. Patients with melanoma have a drastically reduced survival rate the longer it takes to discover it and begin treatment. Therefore, detecting any cancerous growth early and adding confidence to a dermatologist's judgement would save lives.
