Arizona Tribune - Medical Care Technologies Inc. (OTCID:MDCE) Melanoma Scan Beta Seeks First Volunteer Cohorts for Human-Submitted Image Dataset Testing

MESA, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / August 31, 2026 / Medical Care Technologies Inc. (OTCID:MDCE) today announced that its MDCE Melanoma Scan Beta platform is seeking its first set of volunteers for human-submitted dataset testing - a significant step beyond the Company's prior work training and evaluating models solely on established public cancer imaging datasets.

Until now, development of MDCE Melanoma Scan Beta has centered on structured internal testing and AI model optimization using gold-standard public dermatology resources, including HAM10000, ISIC Archive collections, and TCIA melanoma cohorts. The move to a volunteer-submitted dataset is intended to introduce real-world image variability into the testing process, including differences in lighting, device type, distance, skin tone, and user-captured image quality.

The Company believes this transition is an important development milestone. Public benchmark datasets remain essential for foundational training. Human-submitted images add a second layer of evaluation that more closely reflects how users may actually capture and organize skin images in everyday conditions.

"This is a major step up from testing exclusively on established public datasets," said Marshall Perkins, CEO of Medical Care Technologies. "Public archives gave us a strong technical foundation. Volunteer-submitted images allow us to evaluate how the platform handles real-world input. That is the next level of disciplined testing for MDCE Melanoma Scan Beta."

MDCE Melanoma Scan Beta is being developed as an AI-assisted imaging and body-map monitoring application intended to support image organization, cataloging, and longitudinal tracking of visible skin images over time. The platform remains in beta-stage development, has not received regulatory clearance, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice or evaluation by a qualified healthcare provider.

Volunteer participation is expected to support internal evaluation of image intake, workflow consistency, body-map organization, and model performance on user-captured photographs. The Company will continue its multi-phase testing protocol as this first human-submitted dataset is collected and reviewed.
