MeMoSA

Mobile Mouth Screening Anywhere (MeMoSA®) is a digital health platform for screening and early detection of oral cancer.
Are you worried about an ulcer or lesion in your mouth?
Oral cancer is one of the most common, yet fatal cancers in Asia with over 74% of all oral cancer deaths occurring within the continent. However, this disease can be prevented. Up to 80% of oral cancer cases are preceded by oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) that appear as red or white patches in the mouth which are easily visible, can be photographed and diagnosed by experienced specialists in a clinic.
Mobile Mouth Screening Anywhere (MeMoSA®) is a digital health tool that is:

1. First of its kind - for remote consultation that facilitates screening and the identification of oral lesions for early diagnosis of high-risk oral lesions and oral cancer
2. Reducing barriers to diagnosis and care – by enabling the implementation of digital health with easy access to healthcare professionals
3. Reliable and transfers information securely - enabling extensive implementation
4. Overcoming the scarcity issue - due to limited numbers of oral specialists in the country and region

The app allows users to:

• Take images of their mouth/ a patient’s mouth which may have suspicious lesions and send them to a qualified dentist or dental specialist for review.
• Be guided on how to take images of the mouth and how to perform a Mouth Self Examination.
• Be referred to a qualified dentist or dental specialist if required.
• Schedule appointments with a qualified dentist or dental specialist if required.
• Communicate via messages or audio/video calls with a dentist or dental specialist after submitted images have been reviewed.

MeMoSA® is also suitable for screening projects where healthcare volunteers have been assigned to screen people in their community. With our healthcare volunteer interface, we have designed a workflow that can enable oral cancer screening anywhere and at any time in remote areas where access to a dentist is limited.
Meanwhile, the dentist and dental specialist interfaces have been designed so that important clinical data is captured in the image review process. This information can then be automatically generated into a report.
In future developments of this app, an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled version will allow users to independently determine whether a lesion is at risk of being oral cancer.
In a nutshell, MeMoSA® allows for early detection of oral cancer. Early detection saves lives.
