Advancing telemedicine with cutting edge technologies
Intelligently manage health
Top performance 1
With DermaVisio NET, we have developed a telehealth platform where ALL data is continuously encrypted. What many don't know: Conventional systems only encrypt text, but not images, videos, metadata, or other information.
Top performance 2
Using intelligent algorithms, our system is able to deliver medical image analysis in a very short amount of time, thereby supporting doctors in their work.

As surveys by McKinsey show, the proportion of supporters in the population has risen significantly, triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
