A picture is worth a thousand words.

IMPROVE PATIENT CARE THROUGH COLLABORATION.

Submissions receive a response directly in
the app via secure messaging and image annotation. Prefer to discuss the case by phone instead? No
problem. Share images beforehand in the app and ensure they’re available during the call.

Long wait times and limited access to expertise in medical dermatology make for frustrated providers and
anxious patients. Direct provider to provider consultation has many advantages:

1) REDUCE THE NEED FOR PATIENT TRAVEL
Studies of teledermatology based triage between specialists and primary care providers have shown that
almost 70% of cases can be managed with provider to provider consultation alone.

2) IMPROVE REFERRAL EFFICIENCY
No need to interrupt your day or ours. Submit cases whenever it suits you best. Urgent concern?
Coordinate care faster using image sharing and a provider to provider discussion up front.

3) INCREASE CONFIDENCE
Prefer to manage the case within your own practice? Use the app to address questions regarding the
diagnosis or treatment options. Unsure regarding dermatoscopic findings? Image sharing with annotations is the perfect way to get a second opinion.

Reliable and easy to use, our app is built on the VERIFIED MEDICAL platform which has been approved
for secure sharing of medical images and information. Download the app, and then and go to
