SkinCheck, an Oklahoma-founded digital health startup, announced yesterday it has been awarded $250,000 in non-dilutive funding through the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (OCAST) Industry Innovation Program. The award will be distributed over a two-year period and will support applied research, clinical validation, and expanded access to virtual dermatology services across Oklahoma.

“Oklahoma faces some of the longest dermatology wait times in the country, leaving rural and underserved communities without timely access to potentially life-saving skin cancer screenings,” said Daniel Marques, SkinCheck Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer. “Expanding Dermatology Access for Underserved Communities in Oklahoma is not just the title of our proposal. It is central to our mission.”
