# Skinova — Teledermatology

## 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
