Quick answer

Teledermatology software lets a clinic review patient skin images remotely — usually store-and-forward (asynchronous), where the patient submits photos and the clinician reviews on their own schedule. ScanSkinAI provides AI-assisted store-and-forward teledermatology in its Derm Starter plan at a flat US$599/yr, with no monthly subscription and no per-consultation fee. It is an AI-assisted screening and monitoring tool used within clinician-led workflows, not a diagnostic device.

Executive takeaways

  • Teledermatology software lets a clinic review patient skin images remotely — most commonly store-and-forward (asynchronous), where the patient submits photos and the clinician reviews on their own schedule.
  • Per-provider monthly subscriptions and per-completed-consultation fees can penalise low-volume solo and small practices, where utilisation is uneven.
  • ScanSkinAI Derm Starter bundles AI-assisted store-and-forward teledermatology, 3D mole mapping and AI lesion screening at a flat US$599 per year, with no monthly subscription and no per-consultation fee.
  • Each plan includes 1 dermatologist account and 50 AI-enabled patient places, designed for solo dermatologists and small clinics.
  • ScanSkinAI teledermatology is an AI-assisted screening and monitoring tool used within clinician-led workflows. It is not a diagnostic device and does not replace dermoscopy, biopsy or in-person examination.

What is teledermatology software?

Teledermatology software is a clinical platform that lets a dermatologist or clinic review skin concerns remotely — typically by reviewing patient-submitted images and a brief questionnaire. It sits alongside an existing clinic workflow and is designed to extend, not replace, in-person care. ScanSkinAI builds teledermatology into its broader AI dermatology software, so async review, AI screening and 3D mole mapping live in one workspace.

What is store-and-forward (asynchronous) teledermatology?

Store-and-forward means the patient submits images and clinical history first; the clinician reviews when convenient and returns a written response. It avoids scheduling friction, supports better image quality than live video, and is generally well-suited to non-urgent skin concerns. For new and solo practices it is often the simplest entry point into virtual care.

Why is teledermatology software priced out of reach for small clinics?

Many teledermatology platforms charge per provider per month (often in the low hundreds of US dollars per provider) or a fee per completed consultation. Both models can scale against a low-volume or seasonal practice, where utilisation is uneven. ScanSkinAI Derm Starter is offered at a flat US$599/yr with no monthly subscription and no per-consult fee — designed to make async teledermatology accessible to solo and small clinics with predictable cost.

How does ScanSkinAI's teledermatology workflow work?

The patient or clinic uploads images and a structured questionnaire. The AI screens the images and surfaces lesions and skin findings. The clinician reviews the AI result alongside the original images, adds professional observations, and decides on monitoring or in-person follow-up. Lesions of interest can be linked to ScanSkinAI's mole mapping software for ongoing tracking, or paired with the chronic skin condition tracker.

How does AI assist remote review?

AI is used as an assistive layer: lesion surfacing, change comparison against earlier images and prioritisation of the review queue. The reviewing dermatologist remains responsible for assessment, suspicion of malignancy and any recommendation for further investigation. Patients exploring the screening side can review our consumer-facing melanoma checker.

Who is it for?

  • Solo dermatologists offering remote review
  • Independent skin specialists adding a virtual channel
  • Small dermatology practices starting teledermatology
  • Clinicians adding remote monitoring to existing patients
  • Practices piloting virtual care without large upfront cost

Patients searching for a clinician can be referred to our find a dermatologist directory; larger groups can review business solutions.

What are the limitations?

  • Cannot diagnose skin cancer, melanoma or any disease.
  • Does not replace in-person examination, dermoscopy or biopsy where clinically needed.
  • AI is an assistive layer that supports — and does not replace — clinical judgement.
  • Image quality (focus, lighting, framing) materially affects what the AI and reviewer can see.
  • Not designed for emergencies or urgent care; suspected emergencies should be routed to in-person services.

How ScanSkinAI teledermatology works

1. Scan

The patient or clinic uploads images through ScanSkinAI. The AI screens the images and surfaces lesions and skin findings for the reviewer.

2. Track

Lesions are plotted on the 3D body map, linked to images, notes and a timeline, and monitored across visits.

3. Review

The dermatologist reviews the AI result and original images, adds professional observations, and decides on monitoring or in-person follow-up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Teledermatology software is a clinical platform that lets a dermatologist or clinic review patient skin images remotely. Most solo and small practices start with store-and-forward (asynchronous) teledermatology, where the patient submits photos and a clinical questionnaire and the clinician reviews when convenient.

Store-and-forward is asynchronous: the patient submits images and history, and the clinician reviews on their own schedule. Live video is synchronous: clinician and patient are connected in real time. For non-urgent skin concerns, store-and-forward generally offers better flexibility, lower scheduling overhead and stronger image quality than live video.

ScanSkinAI Derm Starter includes async teledermatology at a flat US$599 per year, with no monthly subscription and no per-consultation fee. Per-provider monthly platforms and per-completed-consultation pricing can scale poorly for low-volume solo and small clinics, while a flat annual fee keeps cost predictable.

Yes. ScanSkinAI Derm Starter is designed for solo dermatologists, independent skin specialists and small practices. One annual plan includes 1 dermatologist account and 50 AI-enabled patient places, so a single clinician can offer AI-assisted async review without enterprise contracts.

No. ScanSkinAI is an AI-assisted screening and monitoring tool used within a clinician-led workflow. It does not diagnose conditions. The reviewing dermatologist remains responsible for clinical assessment and any recommendation for in-person care, dermoscopy or biopsy.
