Melanoma diagnoses have soared while deaths barely changed, a sign of overdiagnosis. AI skin apps should be judged on whether dangerous thick melanomas fall, not how many spots they flag.
Melanoma incidence has risen roughly six-fold in the US since 1975 with much smaller mortality change. AI dermatology tools risk amplifying detection of indolent in-situ lesions. Propose that regulatory and reimbursement evaluation of AI skin triage require thick (over 1 mm) melanoma incidence and biopsy-to-melanoma ratio as endpoints.
