Helping build a future where no one dies from skin cancer
Why Skin Health Matters
Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in the UK, but early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment. That's why Freedom Health Insurance gives you access to Skin Analytics, an innovative service that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to support the early identification of skin cancer.
Who Are Skin Analytics?
Skin Analytics is a clinically validated skin cancer screening service that uses AI technology to assess skin lesions and moles. It’s the first and only (correct as of June 2025) AI solution to receive UKCA marking as a Class IIa medical device, meaning it meets strict safety and performance standards.
Step-by-Step: Using Skin Analytics DERM at Home
Getting your skin checked is simple and convenient:
-
Get a referral – If you're concerned about a mole or skin lesion, you can be referred for a Skin Analytics check through your Freedom Health Insurance policy.
-
Receive your kit – A smartphone equipped with the Skin Analytics app and a specialist imaging device is sent directly to your home, along with clear instructions.
-
Image capture – Using the phone and dermoscopic lens, you take a high-quality image of the area you're concerned about, all from the comfort of your home.
-
AI assessment – The clinically validated AI analyses your image and checks for early signs of skin cancer, using technology trusted across the NHS and private healthcare.
-
Next steps – If any concerns are detected, you’ll be referred for a dermatologist review or further investigation. If no issues are found, you’ll receive reassurance and advice on what to look out for.
Fast, simple, and reassuring. No waiting rooms, no unnecessary appointments. Just clear answers and support, when you need it most.
