Why Leading Clinics Are Moving to 3D Total Body Photography
Traditional 2D total body mapping was the standard for decades. But flat images can't capture what 3D can. Compare the technologies side-by-side and see the difference a new generation makes.
An objective look at how next-generation 3D imaging compares to legacy 2D total body photography on the dimensions that matter most to your practice.
OptimaScan + DermEngine isn't a 2D system with features bolted on. It's a modern platform designed for how dermatology is practised today.
3D Body Mapping in 60 Seconds
OptimaScan captures 100+ images with automated 360° rotation and cross-polarized lighting, generating a complete 3D patient avatar with every mole and spot mapped. What took 20–30 minutes with traditional systems takes less than one.
AI in Every Step of the Workflow
DermEngine's AI algorithms help you in every step of your workflow including content-based image retrieval, lesion mapping, matching and comparison, and many more.
True Multi-Platform Access
DermEngine syncs seamlessly across iOS, Android, Web, and Mac. Access patient data and images from any device, anywhere. No Windows-only desktop software. No VPN tunnels.
Deep EMR & PMS Integration
Bidirectional, real-time integration with leading systems including Epic, Cerner, and other EMR/PMS platforms. DermEngine automatically sends and receives data — no manual uploads, no waiting.
Pathology Lab Integration
Submit clinical images directly to integrated pathology labs from within DermEngine. Manage pathology requests and receive results in a centralized workflow — no email attachments, no portal juggling.
Teledermatology Built In
Store-and-forward teledermatology, second opinion sharing across your clinical network, and customizable online patient submission portal — all native to the platform, not a bolted-on afterthought.
Cloud-Native. Zero IT Burden.
No local servers. No SQL database management. No backup infrastructure. HIPAA, GDPR, Australian Privacy Act, New Zealand Privacy Act, and other compliant with multi-region data centers. Software updates deliver automatically.
Your Camera Upgrades When You Are Ready
OptimaScan works with iPhone 15 Pro and newer. When Apple releases a better camera, you can swap your OptimaScan camera for a new one — no $10,000+ proprietary hardware swap required.
Flexible to Deploy
Compact enough to fit in many exam rooms and easier to relocate than traditional full-body imaging systems. Well suited for satellite clinics, multi-site practices, and temporary setups without requiring a permanently dedicated room.
Switching Is Free. Really.
Already using another total body photography or dermoscopy system? We'll migrate your patient images and data at no charge. One-time, hassle-free transfer — so you keep access to your complete clinical history on a modern platform.
DermEngine syncs your patient data, images, and analytics across every device in real time. No exports, no manual transfers.
