An innovation in cancer screening is helping detect melanomas at home. The Kiwi-designed MoleMap contactless triage tool can help people in remote areas or who simply can't get to a clinic. It was developed under lock down here and has been picked-up in Australia to help people in lock down get checked for skin cancer. It's a contactless service, designed by MoleMap in step with the rise in telehealth and nurse-led health care provision around the world. New Zealand has the world's second highest rate of melanoma. About four hundred Kiwis die from this form it every year. Only Australia's rates are higher. Kathryn is joined by MoleMap group CEO Tanya Houghton and Dermatologist Amanda Oakley.
