What's New In Digital Health

DermEngine^TM is an intelligent, secure, online platform that empowers specialists and primary care physicians in the early detection and management of skin cancer

Vancouver, Canada — July 3, 2018 — MetaOptima Technology is pleased to announce that DermEngine™, the world’s most advanced skin imaging and analytics tool, has officially been launched in Australia, marking an important advance in the way skin cancer is screened, tracked and detected.

Recently, MetaOptima received a $6.5 million USD ($8.6 million CAD) investment from Australian-based company Skip Capital, co-founded by Atlassian’s Scott Farquhar and Kim Jackson, along with venture capital firm AirTree led by co-founder Daniel Petre.

Together, the company and its Australian investors are confident that this investment will greatly advance DermEngine’s global expansion starting from Australia to better equip healthcare professionals in early detection, diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers.

Australia now at the forefront of digital skin imaging and analytics
DermEngine’s combination of artificial intelligence, mobile technologies such as MoleScope™ and cross-platform accessibility aids medical professionals in the imaging, documentation, communication, diagnosis and management of skin cancer and other dermatology diseases. This intelligent and efficient workflow is designed to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and the quality of care while reducing unnecessary referrals, visits and related costs. With DermEngine, capturing, documenting and diagnosing skin cancer cases can be completed in just minutes.

“We wanted to modernize the way tracking and diagnosing skin cancer was conducted.” said Dr. Maryam Sadeghi, CEO and co-founder of MetaOptima Technology. “Our vision is bold: we want to be in every major dermatology center and skin cancer clinic in the country — and we’re well on track to making that a reality. With the support of AirTree Investors and Skip Capital as well as key opinion leaders in dermato-oncology, we’re confident our platform will continue to shape and change the state of play for both healthcare professionals and patients.”

DermEngine is designed with the continued insight and support of global key opinion leaders in dermatology, dermoscopy,  dermatopathology and dermato-oncology. “As experts, we are facing very long waiting lists. DermEngine and MoleScope create safe, streamlined communications between patients and their doctors, with real integration of all screening tools,” said Dr. Pascale Guitera, associate professor at Melanoma Institute Australia.

Dr. Ian Katz, senior pathologist of Southern Sun Pathology and director of SunDoctors Skin Cancer Clinics, concurs: “Using DermEngine to seamlessly and intelligently link the patient, the clinician, and pathologist in the laboratory will exponentially improve the accuracy and speed of skin cancer diagnosis.”
