Maryam Sadeghi (born 1980) is an Iranian-born Canadian computer scientist in the field of medical image analysis. She was born in 1980 in Mianeh, East Azerbaijan, Iran.
She was an undergraduate at Iran University of Science and Technology. She holds a PhD in computing science from Simon Fraser University (SFU) in the area of medical image analysis.[1] Her PhD thesis, titled Towards prevention and early diagnosis of skin cancer: computer-aided analysis of dermoscopy images,[2] won the Doctoral Dissertation Award 2012 Honourable Mention from the Canadian Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Society (CIPPRS).[3]
Her company MetaOptima developed the MoleScope, a small microscope that works with smart phones to allow the tracking and monitoring of skin moles.[4] 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.[5]
Sadeghi was also part of a team that developed UVCanada—a free public health education app for sun protection.[6]
