Overview: Skin cancer survivors remain at high risk of recurrence, particularly melanoma survivors who face the possibility of developing a second melanoma. Despite this elevated risk, many survivors do not regularly perform thorough skin self-examinations (SSE), a crucial step in early detection.

MSS is a fully automated, mobile-based program designed to increase the frequency and quality of thorough SSEs among melanoma survivors.
