Firma Skin is the first dermatology informatics (a.k.a. derma-informatics) and tele-dermatology company that specializes in utilizing advanced image analysis algorithms to identify skin diseases and skin conditions. Tapping on acquired technological know-how to identify melanoma disease, Firma Skin derma-informatics team aims to develop other analytical tools to recognize non-melanoma (i.e. Basel cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma) and other non-cancerous skin conditions (i.e. STD/STI, eczema, melasma, wound, etc.) The developed application provides healthcare professionals and end users access to real-time analytical results, treatment recommendations and clinical insights.
