Skin Checks for Sports Coaches and Teachers
Sports coaches, PE teachers, swim instructors and outdoor education staff are on the sidelines — and in the sun — for most of the school and season year. ScanSkinAI gives sports clubs, academies and schools a private, low-cost way to cover their coaching staff.
Quick answer
Coaches, PE teachers and outdoor instructors typically spend 15–30 hours per week outdoors during the season, with high UV exposure on face, neck and arms. ScanSkinAI offers clubs, academies and schools per-seat skin checks at $59.99 per coach or teacher per year, including unlimited AI mole scans and optional online dermatologist review.

Why coaches and PE teachers are under-screened
A typical full-time outdoor coach can exceed 1,200 hours of direct UV exposure per year — more than most full-time outdoor trades. Yet coaches are usually excluded from occupational health programmes because their employer is a small club, academy or school department.
Lifeguards, swim coaches and sailing instructors face additional UV reflection off water and pool surfaces, which can effectively double the UV dose to face and chin.
More UV than many trades
Full-time outdoor coaches can exceed 1,200 UV-exposed hours per year — comparable to construction.
Water doubles dose
Pool, river and ocean reflection can effectively double UV on face, neck and chin for water-sport coaches.
Volunteers fall through cracks
Volunteer and part-time coaches are routinely excluded from health benefits; per-seat plans include them affordably.
Schools and clubs covered
One plan can cover a school's PE department, a sports academy's coaches or a club's volunteer roster.
Models behaviour for kids
Coaches who model sun-safe behaviour set a powerful precedent for children in their care.
Private from school admin
Coaches own their results. School/club admin sees seat usage only — never images or diagnoses.
Why traditional on-site skin checks are hard for small businesses
- Sports clubs and academies are usually too small for traditional corporate wellness programmes.
- School term schedules make booking everyone into a clinic impossible.
- Volunteer and part-time coaches are often left out of health benefits entirely.
- Coaches tend to defer their own check-ups because the season is always 'too busy'.
How ScanSkinAI works for your team
1. Buy seats for your team
Pick the number of employees you want to cover. $59.99 per seat per year. Add or remove seats anytime from your company dashboard.
2. Staff scan privately from their phone
Employees redeem the invite link, then take photos of moles, rashes or skin concerns directly in the browser or iOS app. Unlimited scans, mole tracking, body and wound checks.
3. Optional online dermatologist review
When the AI flags a higher-risk lesion, the employee can request a board-certified dermatologist to review the case within 48 hours.
4. Employer sees usage only
Your admin dashboard shows seat usage and anonymous engagement — never employee images or personal results.
Employee privacy comes first
Employers never see employee skin images or personal results. Each staff member has their own private account. Your company dashboard only shows seat usage and anonymous engagement so you can prove the benefit is being used without ever touching personal health data.
ScanSkinAI is UKCA Class I registered and operates under ISO 27001 information security.
The cost of doing nothing
$59.99/coach/year covers unlimited AI scans, mole tracking and optional dermatologist review for 12 months — usable from the coach's own phone.
A single private mole-mapping visit per coach costs £180–£350 / AUD 150–300 plus lost session time — rarely actually done in practice.

$59.99 per employee per year
One flat price. Unlimited AI skin scans, mole tracking, body and wound checks, and optional online dermatologist review for every covered employee.

Can a sports club cover volunteer coaches?+

What about swim coaches and lifeguards?+
Water reflection significantly increases UV dose. These groups are some of the highest-priority coaches to cover.
Does it integrate with school IT systems?+
No integration is required — coaches simply redeem a one-line invite link and create their own private account.
