This dermatologist just changed cancer detection forever.
In this powerful episode of Broken Healthcare, host Ray Kober sits down in studio with husband-and-wife innovators Dr. Mike and Elizabeth Webb, the creators of CheckMySpot — a revolutionary app that lets anyone screen potential skin cancers from their phone.
Dr. Webb, a board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon, shares his 30-year journey in medicine, from tackling advanced skin cancer cases to developing a simple, life-saving technology. Elizabeth reveals how a small-town problem inspired a nationwide solution — helping people get faster access to care when it matters most.
Together, they unpack:
✅ Why early detection means a 99% survival rate for melanoma
✅ How the broken healthcare system delays life-saving diagnoses
✅ The science and myth of sun exposure and sunscreen safety
✅ What “appraisal delay” is — and how it costs lives
✅ How Check My Spot eliminates wait times and saves employers money
✅ Why validation from the Validation Institute proves this app works
Whether you’re a patient, healthcare leader, or benefits advisor — this episode will open your eyes to what’s truly possible when innovation meets compassion.
