Dermtest started in 2013 as a local teledermoscopy project for early melanoma detection between 2 rural GP-offices and the largest dermato-oncology clinic in the capital of Estonia. In 2014 Dermtest was spinned off into a separate company for providing the technology internationally. The system has been presented at a number of clinical conferences, including World Congress of Dermoscopy and World Congress of Teledermatology and has been clinically evaluated in the world’s largest real-life study (N = 4150) on teledermoscopy (to be published in 2023).
How to transform skin cancer detection and save lives with teledermoscopy?
Dermtest saves lives with early skin cancer detection via store-and-forward photo-based teledermoscopy. The software platform connects general practitioners and small clinics with dermatologists to provide a mole-check service to patients at their local clinics.
Dermtest is the initial visual-first care model developed by the company and is now accessible in 100% of regions in Estonia. It’s also publicly reimbursed in Germany by public health insurance BKK-VBU in Saxony and Berlin.
By facilitating melanoma prevention through early detection, Dermtest teledermoscopy empowers general practitioners in fighting the deadliest type of skin cancer. It brings remote specialist diagnosis and management plans closer to patients.
The service enables capturing dermoscopic photos for discovering early changes in moles that may develop into malignant skin tumors and enables reacting quickly with a treatment plan.
As a solution provider, Dermtest combines its software with off-the-shelf diagnostic hardware into a streamlined work-flow. Dermtest increases access to care, quality and cost-efficiency and reduces melanoma mortality, while saving millions to societies, as early detection of melanoma is 15 times more cost-effective than late detection.

The wound care concept was developed in 2019 in co-operation with Wound Clinic a subsidiary of B.Braun. It is now used by hospitals, private clinics, emergency rooms, nursing homes, home nurses and family doctors for managing acute or chronic wounds in various stages of treatment. The digital tools for wound care now enable highly interdisciplinary outcome-based management of wounds.
How to cover the full patient pathway in wound-care?
The wound management concept helps wound specialists to document wounds, follow treatment progress and generate wound-care treatment plans for patients.
With unique cross-care functionality, it enables to manage wound care across care levels and between different providers.
Visoleap enabled interdisciplinary wound care is important, because it brings together multiple healthcare disciplines to provide comprehensive and coordinated care for patients with wounds.
It also allows for better communication and collaboration among healthcare providers, which can improve patient outcomes and reduce the risk of complications.
Additionally, interdisciplinary wound care can help to optimize the use of resources and reduce healthcare costs.
Good fit for:
- GP-practices
- Nursing homes
- Home nurses
- Nursing and surgery departments
- All wound specialists
When COVID pandemic started in 2020, the world quickly moved to lock-downs and nearly fully to remote care. In 95% of cases this still meant phone calls. While video telemedicine was seen as an opportunity and matured fast, it still has many hurdles for visually heavy specialties. Thus we acted quickly to support phone-based remote care with high quality visual data of body-surface conditions from patients. Together with the largest ambulatory hospital in Estonia - East-Tallinn Central Hospital and a number of other clinics and practices, we added an easy way to receive high-quality visual data and photos from patients.
How COVID boosted remote care and how to do it right in visually heavy specialties?
This functionality enables clinicians to receive high-quality photos from patients.
The solution can be used as a simple white-label remote dermatology enabler or be part of a complex work-flow, where visual data from in-house treatment and remote treatment needs to be combined.
The application can be used before or after a face-to-face appointment, as check-in or triage enabler or help to capture visual patient reported outcomes vPROMs.
Another benefit of remote dermatology is improved access to care for patients living in remote or underserved areas. It also allows for more efficient use of healthcare resources and can save patients time and money by eliminating the need for travel to see a dermatologist.
Remote dermatology can also improve continuity of care by allowing patients to receive follow-up care without having to leave home.

Psoriasis management modules was built on the premise of value-based care. Together with the Estonian Health Insurance Fund and Tartu University Hospital the pathway, reimbursement model and core software functionalities were built in 2021 and piloted in a multi-site clinical study involving 7 health care providers across the country at primary and specialist care levels. Extra focus was put on care outcomes. The clinical study results will be published in 2023, while development is continuing towards an MDR-certified DTx.
How to prevent co-morbidities via value-based remote monitoring?
Remote monitoring of body-surface conditions leverages all the user-friendly functionalities of Dermtest's core and much more.
As a doctor you can onboard a patient with psoriasis (or any other chronic skin condition) to a monitoring pathway, which includes scheduled questionnaires and visual PROMs of the condition's progression.
Psoriasis is the first monitoring use-case, but the solution also enables monitoring of other body-surface conditions.
Good fit for:
- Value-based care implementors
- GP-practices
- Hospital dermtology departments
- Wide health networks
