DermUtopia Brings Telemedicine to Virginia Patients

Oak Hill, VA (PRWEB) May 08, 2013

DermUtopia is a hassle-free and user-friendly online application that allows Virginia patients to address skin problems easily on their own schedule. With increased wait time for in-office visits, higher gas prices, and reduced distribution of specialists throughout Virginia, the founders of DermUtopia, Dr. Brenda Dintiman and Christine Shanahan, felt strongly that an innovative telehealth program was essential to improving the overall situation for patients in Virginia. Just by downloading the ClickMedix phone application, and following a few simple steps, a patient can have access to a qualified and experienced dermatologist.

Teledermatology has been shown to be a successful way to bring dermatological care to patients in an efficient and effective manner. Many skin conditions benefit from early treatment and the ability for a doctor to see the condition when the symptoms are active and acute. DermUtopia connects patients to a DermUtopia dermatologist via a HIPAA-compliant, secure phone application. The ClickMedix phone application enables patients to submit medical history and photographs of the concerning area of skin as a virtual consultation. These electronic consultations can be used for all types of skin problems. After submitting the consultation, a DermUtopia dermatologist reviews and examines the patient history and images thoroughly and within 24 to 72 hours responds with a diagnosis and treatment plan. The outcome of each consultation can result in a variety of different paths for the patient. When a prescription is recommended, the DermUtopia dermatologists can electronically prescribe medications for pick-up at the most convenient pharmacy for the patient. If further examination is required, a live-interactive consultation or an in-person office visit at a local dermatologist may be recommended.

This mother-daughter team has identified that limited access to care for patients is a significant issue that must be overcome in order to improve the state of the medical community. With this in mind, they have explored many options that could minimize this problem in Virginia, and their research has lead directly to the matchless potential of teledermatology. Dr. Dintiman practices telemedicine for the American Association of Dermatology (AAD) and, in 2010 she was given the Presidential Award for Volunteerism in Telemedicine. As members of the American Telemedicine Association (ATA) and other telehealth groups, Dr. Brenda Dintiman and Christine Shanahan became the driving forces in the establishment of the currently Virginia-based teledermatology company called DermUtopia. Together, their motivation to increase access to dermatological care for Virginia residents and confidence in the modern technology that makes this possible reflect the central mission of DermUtopia, leading their medical community towards a better future.

iDerms Brings Smartphone Technology to Dermatology

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) May 29, 2013

iDerms, a pioneer in online direct-to-patient dermatology, today announced the Internet Dermatology Network (IDN), an innovative new way for patients to get expert dermatologic care fast without ever visiting the dermatologists office. IDN lets patients snap an image of their skin condition with their smartphone or digital camera and send it to their dermatologist for immediate diagnosis and treatment.

One of my children developed a spot on his forehead. On the same day I was able to get a diagnosis through the Internet Dermatology Network and some peace of mind without ever leaving my house, said Liz Castignani, a mother in San Jose, California. Ive used IDN several times and it gives me an answer to pressing skin concerns so much faster.

Through easy access from a smartphone, tablet or PC, IDN provides not only convenience but more importantly earlier diagnosis and treatment of a range of skin conditions. Many potentially dangerous skin conditions arent treated in a timely manner due to the inconvenience and long wait times typical of dermatology office visits. With IDN, not only can dermatologists recommend immediate treatments for minor skin conditions, but IDN can serve as pre-screen more serious conditions.

IDN is a breakthrough platform that brings the Internet and mobile technology to the critical area of diagnosing and treating skin conditions, said Dr. Christopher Schmidt, a dermatologist and a founder of iDerms. IDN compliments a dermatologists existing practice, offering full access to his/her expertise with a few mouse clicks or taps on their smartphone or tablet. Being embraced by both patients, primary care doctors, and dermatologists, IDN is a win/win for both patients and doctors.

IDN offers more accurate diagnosis and treatment than general physician evaluations. A recent article in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology compared diagnoses and treatments made by referring pediatricians to the diagnoses and treatments rendered by the consulting dermatologists. The diagnoses and treatments between the dermatologists and the pediatricians differed in approximately half of the cases.

Instead of relying on primary care doctors, IDN allows anyone with a skin condition to be evaluated by a dermatologist. This access is especially beneficial for patients who are elderly, have busy work or home schedules, or live in rural areas where long distance travel may be required.

One of my young long-term care facility patients was able to get a dermatology consultation via IDN without enduring a lengthy ambulance ride to Lucile Packard Childrens Hospital, said Dr. W. James Silva, a pediatric critical care specialist in Los Gatos, California.

About iDerms

iDerms LLC, founded by Dr. Christopher Schmidt, a 25-year practicing dermatologist, delivers an innovative online solution for professional dermatologic care through the Internet Dermatology Network (IDN).
