LIMITATIONS OF MOLE FINDR

It's essential for Mole Findr patients undergoing such assessments to understand the scope and limitations of the service they're receiving from Mole Findr. 

Our highly trained Mole Findr Melanographers use an algorithm taught by the University of Queensland Skin Cancer Professors to assess suspicious lesions clinically (surface of the skin) and dermoscopically (beneath the skin surface). 

As with any diagnostic service, there are limitations to what can be identified by the Mole Findr algorithm. 

Here's a summary of the key points outlined in the notice:

Types of Lesions: Some types of lesions may not be suitable for imaging, and any limitations will be communicated during the appointment. Some lesions may exhibit benign features that may not be detected by the Mole Findr algorithm, however annual visits will facilitate the monitoring of lesions using Mole Findr's Total Body Photography digital technology, coupled with Artificial Intelligence, to capture and monitor changes in lesions over time.

Limitations on Locations: The Mole Findr system cannot diagnose lesions located on the eye or in the mouth.

Scope of Service: Mole Findr is not a dermatology consultation. Mole Findr focuses specifically on assessing lesions for potential skin cancer.

Total Body Photography: This service is designed for individuals with a high number of moles on their skin (more than 30 moles across the whole body) who require closer monitoring. 

The system compares the condition of the skin with previous body shots, and lesions are imaged for comparison by both Artificial Intelligence and Melanographers. Referrals may be made to a General Practitioner or a recommended skin doctor based on the assessment.

Alternative Appointments: If an individual has a low mole count, the Melanographer may suggest an alternative appointment type for their next visit.
