SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE ANALYSIS AND TRANSMISSION OF DATA, IMAGES AND VIDEO RELATING TO MAMMALIAN SKIN DAMAGE CONDITIONS

摘要

Data, images and video characterizing mammalian skin damage conditions are collected and analyzed in part using a mobile device as a data collection engine at the point of care. The device establishes communications with a server where the information is stored in a database. The server has an image analysis component applying image processing and analysis techniques, the results of which are reported to the initial data collection engine and made available at a central web portal where users can view the data as well as trends in the data. The central web portal is equipped with a billing unit and portal by which users can generate reimbursement requests. The system has a predictive analysis component that produces predictions based on the data in the database, and predicts the probable progress of the skin damage condition. The predictive analysis is also available to users of the central web portal.
