Smile CDR Inc. in collaboration with MedX Health Corp. and its technology partner, Blanc Labs announced the interoperability of the MedX artificial intelligence (AI)-based teledermatology screening technology, DermSecure. As a cloud-based telemedicine and patient management platform, DermSecure can now optimize the patient pathway, thus improving patient outcomes.

The enhanced interoperability of the platform will ultimately allow dermatologists the opportunity to make accurate assessments and potentially detect skin cancer earlier, and therefore, save the healthcare system's resources. Built around a standard made by Health Level Seven International (HL7®), Smile CDR's secure and scalable Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)-based clinical data repository (CDR) is simplifying data integration without sacrificing the dependability of information. By providing a consistent, easy to implement and rigorous mechanism for exchanging data between healthcare applications, Smile CDR collaborated with Blanc Labs' engineers to power MedX's DermSecure platform.

The outcome was the integration of global electronic medical record (EMR) systems and other healthcare ecosystems. Teledermatology is a subspecialty of dermatology that MedX and Blanc Labs utilize to eliminate the need for in-person appointments with a dermatologist by offering safe and effective virtual care for patient screening and assessment. This leading telemedicine platform enables healthcare practitioners to evaluate suspicious skin conditions so they can assess quickly and precisely through the platform's image capture technology, SIAscopy®, and its secure, cloud-based patient management system, DermSecure®.
