Skin Cancer Widget

I get a lot of solicitations to talk about products on the blog. I also get a lot of general e-mails. The ones I generally respond to are people giving me a heads up about an article, press release, technology, or something else that I just wouldn’t have known about. That doesn’t mean I will do anything about it, but if I have time and find it interesting, I will usually click through the link. And, if it still catches my attention then I will write about it.

This one is fairly self-explanatory, but I found it interesting. VisualDxHealth has built a widget for you to self-diagnose your skin cancer. Which, according to the statistics they sent me, is valuable since 1 in 6 Americans will develop skin cancer and the survival rate is high when found and treated early.

The Recognizing Skin Cancer widget interactively provides information about the different types of skin cancer and includes a visual identification quiz that tests the user’s knowledge about recognizing the signs of these conditions.

Unfortunately, I can’t add widgets and other code to my blog or I would have lots of these types of cool things on the site.
