My Changing Skin is a digital service which allows you to capture as many images of your skin as you want. The value we bring is that we then record, sort, orientate, re-size, scale, colour balance and overlay them, to empower you to monitor change yourself. If you want you can securely share any image with your chosen professional, on your terms!
Our skin is an amazingly complicated structure and is the first line of defense against our environment and as such has everything thrown at it. We see where it is attacked as redness, rashes, rawness, pain, bruising, inflammation, infection, spots, irritations, moles, cuts and many other afflictions. Sometimes our own bodies attack our skin from inside and as such there is no way to know all the different kinds of skin conditions that exist in the entire world.
My skin, like your skin, is unique and there are many thousands of different kinds of skin diseases which we present to our doctors and medical professional and ask them to solve an impossible task.
....... My story started following a consultation where we were given the instruction to watch for changes in a skin condition. The first solution was watch and wait and after a few days we found that it was impossible to determine if there had been or was any change. We humans are just not very good at detail and recall. The next thought was take some pictures. Different lighting, different focus, different zoom, different skin patches, different angle, different day, different camera's - again near impossible to determine change and hours of wasted time. I tried free and paid for smart phone apps on both Android and iPhone - but these either proved rubbish, too complex, tried to diagnose, put images on my phone or in my photo stream or I could not get the images to a place that was of any use.
So My Changing Skin is borne out of the frustration that there was no other viable usable solution.
*Privacy is Paramount*
This driver means that our solution puts you in total control. No photos stored on your mobile phone or family camera, your device is password protected. Your identity is given by us, sharing of any image is set and controlled by you and you alone. You control who, how often, time limits, no forwarding and no copy. Images stored with us will be encrypted and cannot be tracked back to you.
*Usability trumps form and functions*
The smart camera from us will take images of your skin and securely upload them to a cloud server enabling you to access them from any place or device you choose. The software will mean that variables such as distance, axis position, lighting, and quality are all removed to produce smart images of the skin area you want to monitor. You will have no limit to how many hotspots you want to capture; you will be able to take 1 hotspot to 100’s of unique skin areas, all managed in one place.
*Diagnosis should be by your chosen professional*
We will not be highlighting any change but will provide you, and your chosen professional, the tools to watch your changing skin and for the professional to advise you on what to do, but gives you the record and the ability to find more opinions.
