New Zealand startup Kāhu has secured $3 million in funding to continue development of its AI tech for detecting skin cancers. Initially spun out of MoleMap, Kāhu was established to bring tech into this sector.
The software was developed through collaboration with IBM and Monash University, and uses AI to analyse images of a patient’s skin and detect signs of melanoma. It’s designed to make quick diagnoses, improving efficiency for doctors and reducing unnecessary waiting time - and stress - for patients.
