Total Body Photography Made Intelligent by DermEngine

by The DermEngine Team on May 6, 2019

Reports show conventional total body photography machines can take up to 2 hours for a single total body scan1, not to mention that some patients have discomfort standing still and being exposed for an extended length of time. Suppose a practice serves on average 5 patients every hour in a 7-hour work day. In that case, one patient requiring a TBP consultation will interrupt other appointments, roughly resulting in a 26% loss of patients seen. Total body photography is effective at identifying and tagging spots on high-risk patients with a high number of spots, however, it can be challenging to implement due to time-consuming procedures and costly investment that can sometimes outweigh the benefits of greater quality care provided.

Revolutionizing TBP with DermEngine

In the quest to save lives, DermEngine reimagines how total body photography consultations are conducted to promote the early detection of skin cancer. Rather than invest in large and costly capital equipment, or taking the time to manually capture, identify, and analyze individual skin spots, medical professionals are adopting DermEngine, an intelligent dermatology software, that facilitates a mere ten-minute total body photography procedure estimated to save medical workers 92% of productivity compared to other total body photography machines.

DermEngine’s award-winning AI-powered algorithms play a large role in increasing a practice’s workflow efficiency by acting as a clinical assistant that allows lesion mapping and lesion matching to be done on all lesions. These features compare and match existing spots on a patient’s body from previous images, making monitoring and tracking moles easier than ever. Dermatologists, skin cancer doctors, and non-specialist providers are encouraged to work synergistically with intelligent technologies to flag, manage, and sort suspicious spots for prioritized in-depth monitoring. A revolutionary process such as this bypasses analyzing unnecessary spots in order to make better use of clinical resources to care for suspicious cases.

DermEngine’s artificial intelligence increases efficiency.

In a clinical setting, medical experts can use a smartphone or other mobile devices to take total body images. Likewise, patients who are unable to attend a follow-up appointment in-person have the option of using the MoleScope app to simply take their own images using the app’s guided template. DermEngine’s real-time data transfer automatically uploads images taken on the MoleScope or DermEngine app to the web platform for a more convenient analysis and consultation experience.

Thinking Ahead: DermDrone

MetaOptima continues to develop innovative technologies that enable accessible dermatology services to patients while allowing medical practices to meet this increasing demand with smart, efficient tools. Building on DermEngine's successful total body photography process, DermDrone is being actively developed and tested for a futuristic solution in total body imaging designed to achieve maximized accuracy and efficiency, reaching a new level of care.
