*2.3.3.1.1.1 Detection of melanoma*

The biosensor has been employed in the detection of melanoma using a fully integrated smartphone application [98]. A 10x detachable lens is used to capture the image of the target site of the skin, and the image is then passed through a series of processing steps such as preprocessing, segmentation, and feature extraction. A support vector machine classifier is then used to determine whether the image is an indication of a malignant or benign lesion [98].
