Coded using Gemini Pro 2.5 (free version) in about 2-3 hours.

Single file including all html/js/css, Vanilla JS, no backend, scores persisted with localStorage.

Deployed using ubuntu/apache2/python/flask on a £5 Digital Ocean server (but could have been hosted on a static hosting provider as it's just a single page with no backend).

Images / metadata stored in an AWS S3 bucket.

Is there any reputable (reviewed, endorsed) AI model to detect skin cancer? I have a lot of similar moles, and playing with this app make me concern about all of them.

Lots of models out there but I would not trust any for diagnosis without review of a dermatologist yet. The challenge is unanticipated edge cases and managing risk/liability/regulation. I have no doubt that if a major AI company focused on this problem then these issues could be overcome with current technology but perhaps the market is not big enough to justify the investment required.
