Our Story

The Original Skin-Mapping System

Over 25 years ago, MoleMap's journey began with a groundbreaking idea. Our New Zealand founders recognised a critical gap in skin cancer detection. Routine skin checks were failing to identify many cases of melanoma, particularly at its early, treatable stages.

The technology and training available to doctors at the time were insufficient, leading to missed diagnoses and unnecessary procedures that caused both physical and emotional distress for patients.

A Spot of Kiwi Ingenuity

Determined to find a better solution, our founders created a unique skin-mapping system designed to track changes in the skin over time, offering a more accurate and early detection of melanoma. This innovative approach transformed skin cancer detection and has become a vital tool for patients and healthcare professionals.

Today, MoleMap operates over 100 clinics across New Zealand and Australia. Our system's accuracy has made it a cornerstone of melanoma research, contributing to advancements in the field, educating specialists and saving lives.

Leveraging AI for Enhanced Skin Checks

In 2018, we began developing our first AI product. By 2021, Kahu AI was created, dedicated to advancing research and development of AI in skin cancer detection. In 2024, Kahu AI became fully operational across all MoleMap New Zealand clinics. 

Validated through the SMARTI study in collaboration with Melanoma and Skin Cancer Trials (MASC) and published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, Kahu AI has demonstrated an impressive 90% accuracy in detecting both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. As we commence the TGA accreditation process in Australia, our journey from early adoption to leadership in AI-driven skin cancer detection shows our commitment to revolutionising healthcare.

Our Team

Each member of our team has been hand-selected for their extensive expertise in the dermatology, healthcare and technology fields, able to drive growth initiatives with innovative solutions.
