Detecting melanoma early greatly increases a patient’s chances of survival, but visual inspections can be time-consuming and imprecise. Doctors using the Raman-spectroscopy-based Aura can scan every mole on a patient’s body in 15 minutes, for far speedier and more accurate results. The laser in the device excites and measures vibrations in skin molecules, which vibrate differently when cancerous. Price not set
