Ask HN: Is there a neural network I can use to help diagnose cancerous moles?

Researchers published a study earlier this year [0] about promising results in using neural networks for classifying skin lesions as cancerous. The results are on par with professional dermatologist.

Does anyone know if this neural network is available or if the results have been replicated? There are a few apps out there but I’ve read the accuracy is lower. I would like to use this technology for personal use in addition to professional screening.
