Dermatology is a visual specialty. A description written six months ago tells you far less than the photograph taken at the same visit — and whether a lesion has changed is often the entire clinical question.
DERMIS is built around images over time, so the comparison a dermatologist needs is on the screen rather than in memory.
Clinical images captured against a body site and compared across visits, so change is observed rather than recalled.
Lesions recorded by anatomical location, giving a distribution map that supports diagnosis.
Consistent diagnostic recording that supports reporting and, where relevant, research.
Topical, systemic and procedural treatment recorded with response at follow-up.
Specimens tracked to the laboratory and results returned to the lesion record via OPES Lab.
Chronic conditions scheduled for review with the previous images ready at the next visit.
Dermatology clinics, hospital dermatology departments and clinics managing chronic skin disease.
Images are held against the patient record with the same access control and audit logging as any other clinical data. They are not stored on a clinician's phone gallery.
Yes. Images and history captured at a peripheral facility can be reviewed by a dermatologist elsewhere — realistic given how few dermatologists practise outside the main cities.
Chronic management is the stronger use. Conditions followed over years benefit most from the image timeline and structured follow-up.
Yes. Diagnostic terminology is configurable, so conditions common in Cameroon are recorded properly rather than forced into an imported list.
Every OPES system shares one patient identity through OPESCare, so a patient moving between departments or facilities keeps one record rather than accumulating several.
