🧬 Paris startup raises $18M to deploy skin cancer scanning robot

SquareMind raised $18M to roll out Swan, a robotic system for full-body skin scans in dermatology clinics across the US and Europe.

Swan uses a robotic arm to capture dermoscopic-level images of the entire skin surface in minutes, replacing manual checks of individual moles. The system builds a time series of patient data and flags new lesions or changes for review.

About 80% of melanomas are new lesions, which standard exams often miss. Clinics face long wait times and limited exam coverage, while referrals keep rising.
