Low-cost, non-invasive melanoma detector wins award

Can the initial check (diagnostic) be done with camera app and update the capture image(s) to the cloud and come back with "No problem" or "Check with your doctor soon" kind of message?

Anyone know what kind of potential regulatory/FDA issue will this kind of apps have?

I think you would just have HIPAA laws for protecting patient data (in the US) to deal with. Since you aren't making an actual decision on someone's care, I don't think the FDA would really care.
