Maryam Sadeghi is an Iranian scientist. Her company MetaOptima developed the MoleScope, a small microscope that works with smart phones to allow the tracking and monitoring of skin moles.[1] It is a consumer-oriented device that has a magnification tool and a light source, along with a cloud-based platform that allows users to monitor suspicious growths through analysis and archiving of changes in size and colour.[2]
Sadeghi was also part of a team that developed UVCanada—a free public health education app for sun protection.[3]
She holds a PhD in computing science from Simon Fraser University (SFU) in the area of medical image analysis.[4] Her PhD thesis, titled Towards prevention and early diagnosis of skin cancer: computer-aided analysis of dermoscopy images,[5] won the Doctoral Dissertation Award 2012 Honourable Mention from the Canadian Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Society (CIPPRS).[6]
