Problem

Access to dermatologists involves long wait times — often weeks or months. Skin concerns require visual assessment, making them well-suited for telemedicine, but existing solutions lack the image quality, clinical workflow, and user experience needed for reliable remote diagnosis.

Solution

Skinova is a teledermatology app that connects users to dermatologists for quick skin care consultations:

  • Patient app: Image capture with AI-assisted quality checking, symptom description, consultation management
  • Clinician platform: Secure image review, diagnosis documentation, prescription management
  • Asynchronous workflow: Patients submit cases and receive clinician responses without real-time scheduling

Design Highlights

  • Image capture UX: Guided photo capture ensuring clinical-grade image quality, with automatic lighting correction and focus assistance
  • Privacy-first design: Secure image handling, granular consent for data use, transparent privacy practices
  • Consumer-friendly medical interface: Medical consultation experience that feels approachable, not clinical
  • Asynchronous workflow: Patients submit when convenient, clinicians respond during working hours

Key Outcomes

  • Dramatically reduced wait times for dermatology consultations
  • High-quality diagnostic images through guided capture
  • Secure, HIPAA-compliant data handling
  • Patient satisfaction through convenience and speed
