RISKOCA: A Smartphone-Based Digital Platform for Oral Cancer Self-Examination.

ABSTRACT

We pioneered a smartphone-based digital platform for oral cancer self-examination, namely RISKOCA. It enabled anyone to self-submit their own oral images to evaluate the potential risk of oral lesions. Integrative artificial intelligence (AI) could immediately report if the image might have a type of oral cancer as well as the precise locations of the lesions. Participating specialist dentists would have to re-evaluate and confirm the results before sending back recommendation to the patients. High participation and satisfaction indicated the success of this pilot study. This project aims to promote oral public health and health surveillance, both nationally and globally.
