What's New In Digital Health

It's National Skin Cancer Week in Australia! GPs have over 1 million patient consultations per year for skin cancer.¹ On the front lines in providing care and spreading awareness, how can professionals ensure patients receive the care they need while staying engaged in their skin health plan?

This National Skin Cancer Action week, MetaOptima is sponsoring the annual walk on November 21st from 11:00 am-1:00 pm at Tumbalong Park in Sydney’s Darling Harbour Precinct. A perfect opportunity to get out with your loved ones and raise awareness while supporting a great cause, the event will offer:

MoleScope – Our patient mobile dermoscope will be on sale for patients interested in imaging their skin to support the early detection of skin cancer. If you use the promo code MAM15 during checkout, part of your purchase will go towards supporting the charity in mission! 

Skin Checks – the Royal Australasian College of General Practitioners & Sydney Doctors will provide free skin checks to open parts of the body for interested attendees 

Sun Smart Merch – Shirts, hats and other swag will be available from Mates Against Melanoma & ANSCD

Free Sunscreen – What skin cancer awareness event is complete without sunscreen? Slip, slap and slop at the free portable sunscreen stations.

Make A Difference- Make a donation to support the early detection and prevention of melanoma and related skin cancer.

National Skin Cancer Action Week is an important reminder to use sun protection and of the importance of skin cancer early detection for all Australians. Let's take this opportunity to empower patients with the knowledge and tools they need to help them stay happy and healthy in the skin they're in!
