DermDescribe FAQ - Complete Guide for Healthcare Professionals

Get answers about privacy, intended use, image handling, and compliance standards for healthcare professionals.

Is DermDescribe diagnostic?

No. It is a documentation aid for healthcare professionals and does not provide diagnosis or treatment. DermDescribe generates objective descriptions of skin findings using standard dermatological terminology, but clinical interpretation and medical decisions remain with the healthcare provider.

What happens to images?

Uploaded images are processed to generate text descriptions, retained for 5 minutes as configured, then permanently deleted. Images are not used for model training unless you explicitly opt in. All transmission is encrypted and follows medical-grade security protocols.

Is DermDescribe HIPAA compliant?

Yes. Images are automatically deleted after 5 minutes, encrypted in transit, and the system follows HIPAA, GDPR and Australia's Privacy Principles (APPs) compliance standards. We maintain healthcare-grade security protocols.

Who is DermDescribe intended for?

Healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses, medical students, and clinicians who need to document skin findings accurately and efficiently. Particularly useful for emergency medicine, general practice, and any clinical setting requiring dermatological documentation.

What types of skin conditions can be documented?

DermDescribe can generate descriptions for various skin lesions, rashes, wounds, and dermatological conditions. The tool focuses on morphological description (size, shape, color, texture, distribution) rather than diagnostic conclusions.

How does pricing work?

Free Plan: 3 clinical analyses per month with basic descriptions.
Professional Plan: $9.99/month for unlimited analyses, comprehensive morphological analysis, differential considerations, and export features.

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time with no cancellation fees. You'll retain access to Professional features until the end of your billing period, then automatically revert to the Free plan.

Where is data processed?

Data processing occurs in secure, compliant cloud infrastructure with encryption in transit and at rest. No images are permanently stored, and all processing follows healthcare data protection standards.

What about clinical photography guidelines?

DermDescribe supports standard clinical photography practices. For best results, use good lighting, include a ruler for scale when possible, and ensure photos are de-identified according to your institution's policies.
