I stood on a marked spot in front of the head-height Canfield machine while Vereker talked me through the various poses I needed to take for the camera to get all the angles it required: facing forward, backwards, running man, inner leg, soles of my feet, hands behind head — nothing strenuous or reminiscent of a yoga class, thankfully. The camera whizzed through the different shots, taking detailed photographs of each section of my body. The AI present in this machine is instantly able to count and assess different aspects of the moles such as their color, diameter, border and color variation, as well as ‘clinical atypia’ aka how different from ‘normal’ a mole is.
