General Questions
What is CanScan?
CanScan is an AI-powered skin mole analysis tool designed to help Canadians identify potentially concerning moles. Our advanced AI analyzes your mole photos using the dermatological ABCDE criteria and provides a comprehensive risk assessment report.
Is CanScan a substitute for a dermatologist?
No, CanScan is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Our AI analysis is designed to be a preliminary screening tool to help you decide whether to seek professional medical evaluation. Always consult a qualified dermatologist for any health concerns.
How accurate is the AI analysis?
Our AI has been trained on thousands of dermatological images and uses the same ABCDE criteria that dermatologists use. While our AI provides highly reliable preliminary assessments, it should be used as a screening tool only. The accuracy depends on the quality of the uploaded image.
Payment & Pricing
Is the first scan really free?
Yes! Your first scan is completely free with no credit card required. Simply upload your mole photo and receive your comprehensive AI analysis report. This allows you to experience the full quality of our service before purchasing additional scans.
How much do additional scans cost?
After your free scan, professional scans are available at a low cost. We regularly offer promotional pricing and discounts. Check the homepage for current pricing and any active sales.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept secure payments through PayPal, which supports credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal balance. Your payment information is never stored on our servers – all transactions are processed securely through PayPal.
Using the Service
What type of photo should I upload?
For the best results:
• Use a well-lit environment (natural daylight is best)
• Take a close-up photo filling the frame with the mole
• Ensure the image is sharp and in focus
• Avoid shadows, flash reflections, or blurry photos
• Upload in PNG or JPEG format (max 10MB)
How long does the analysis take?
Our AI typically completes the analysis within 30-60 seconds. You'll see a real-time progress indicator while the AI examines your image using multiple dermatological criteria.
Will I receive my results via email?
Yes! After the analysis is complete, you'll see your results immediately on screen, and a comprehensive PDF report will be sent to the email address you provide. This allows you to share the results with your doctor if needed.
