Abstract

Photo documentation is an invaluable tool in many medical specialties, particularly in plastic surgery. Although camera-enabled smartphones have become omnipresent, point-of care clinical image applications are not established in most hospitals, especially smaller institutions with fewer means. To solve the problem, we decided to collaborate with an external company with an already existing and certified medical photo capturing mobile application. This point-of care image application provided us to implement a standardized photo documentation pathway without the need to invest means on the development of a new application.
