Skin cancer is a significant problem for public health, and it can affect anyone, regardless of skin color, gender, and age.  Further, it is a leading cause of death worldwide. In the USA, it has been reported that there are more than 100,000 new patients in 2020. The deadliest and most severe form of skin cancer is called Melanoma.

Most melanoma cases are due to skin exposure to natural and artificial UV light. Its radiation destroys the DNA of skin cells. Furthermore, melanoma skin cancer is one of the leading health problems throughout the world, and the vast majority of skin cancer deaths are from Melanoma. Melanoma is curable up to 99 percent if it is early detected and treated - before it spreads to the lymph node.

In this presentation, the speaker will discuss the possible early detection method using electronics and different algorithms. In order to make an efficient, effective, and accurate early-stage melanoma identification and classification, deep neural network-based algorithms is used.

To support the mission – advancing technology for the benefit of humanity – and the vision of IEEE, the FDU’s IEEE Student Branch Chapter jointly collaborated with IEEE North Jersey Section AP/MTT Joint Chapter, IEEE North Jersey Section SIGHT, IEEE AP-S COPE, and IEEE AP-S SIGHT. The project proposals address the DEI (Diversity Equity and Inclusion), engagement of local high School Students in the training, STEM initiatives in an underserved community, scaling, and sharing with other IEEE chapters worldwide. The outcome of this project will satisfy the AP-S COPE mission, specifically, training the undergrad students and preparing them as an ambassador for giving training to next-generation high school students, this will create a long-term impact and motivate the local students in serving members and community we live in. Finally, it leverages the possibility of challenging and fair service opportunities for better health care and medical technology by using Antenna and other engineering technology for low-cost medical solutions.
