Join us at ARTS!

📅 September 5–6, 2025 | 📍 Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel

We’re excited to share that DermEngine and OptimaScan will be featured at the Advances in Rheumatology and Technology Symposium (ARTS) in Chicago! This premier event brings together clinicians and innovators to explore how technology is transforming patient care—and we’re thrilled to be part of the conversation.

Live Demo: Saturday, September 6 at 4:45 pm — experience how OptimaScan’s advanced imaging supports workflows across rheumatology, dermatology, aesthetics, metabolic health, and more.

 

Why Visual Tracking Matters in Rheumatology


Rheumatologic conditions are chronic, systemic, and complex. Their skin, nail, and soft tissue manifestations aren’t just cosmetic—they’re essential for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment monitoring.

Visual tracking helps providers:

  • Detect disease activity and progression (e.g., lupus rashes, scleroderma skin thickening).
  • Monitor treatment response with objective evidence.
  • Collaborate seamlessly across specialties.

 

DermEngine + OptimaScan: One Integrated Workflow

For patients, subtle skin changes often provide the earliest—and most telling—clues. Capturing these changes over time is challenging, which is why DermEngine and OptimaScan work best together:




  • Full-Body Imaging in Minutes – Capture standardized, high-resolution photographs quickly.
  • Precise Tracking – Compare scans over time to measure spread or regression.
  • Seamless Integration – All images flow into DermEngine for side-by-side comparisons, annotation, and collaboration.
  • Patient Engagement – Visual records empower patients, improve adherence, and support remote submissions.
  • Research & Trials – Standardized imaging creates reproducible data for studies and outcomes validation.

 

Where DermEngine and OptimaScan can Add the Most Value

 

  • Psoriatic Arthritis: Track psoriasis lesions and nail dystrophy alongside joint disease.
  • Lupus & Dermatomyositis: Map and monitor rashes and photosensitive lesions.
  • Scleroderma: Document progressive skin thickening, ulcers, and vascular changes.
  • Vasculitis: Capture ulcers, purpura, and necrotic lesions.
  • Biologics Monitoring: Standardize before/after imaging for outcomes validation.

 

Healing with Technology

By combining DermEngine’s intelligent dermatology software with OptimaScan’s advanced body imaging, providers gain accurate, comparable visual records, patients experience more connected care, and healthcare systems benefit from stronger documentation and research readiness.

DermEngine and OptimaScan don’t just capture images—they enable a connected, patient-centered model of rheumatology care where technology drives collaboration, innovation, and better outcomes.
