Skindr - Online Dermatologist 3.4.1

What is Skindr?

Have you ever experienced a wait of over four months to see a dermatologist? Have concerns about your skin condition persisted for that length of time? In such cases, Skindr offers a potential solution.

Skindr is a digital platform that enables users to receive professional dermatological advice within 48 hours from a licensed Belgian dermatologist.

How does it operate?

• Upload photographs and provide a detailed description of your skin issue.
• The dermatologist reviews your information, requesting additional details if necessary.
• You then receive personalized advice and a treatment plan within 48 hours. Prescriptions are directly added to your electronic health record.

The app features a messaging interface that allows for continued communication between the patient and dermatologist, facilitating adjustments to the treatment plan as needed. This chat remains accessible for one week following the consultation, allowing ample time for further questions.

If the dermatologist determines that an in-person examination is required, they will advise scheduling an appointment. This process aims to streamline access to physical care where necessary.

Rationale for using Skindr

• One-third of individuals deal with some form of skin condition.
• In Belgium, there is approximately one dermatologist per 14,000 residents.
• Waiting times for dermatological consultations can extend from four months up to a year.
• In 95% of cases, dermatologists can assess and provide recommendations based solely on photographs.
