dermanostic – dermatologist via app
Fast, simple and discreet dermatologist treatment: almeda integrates a new service from dermanostic into the BARMER teledoctor app
Düsseldorf, May 12, 2023 – An inflamed insect bite or a red itchy spot, but the next appointment with a dermatologist is a long way off. In Germany, it takes an average of 38 days to get an appointment with a dermatologist.
Skin diseases such as acne and venereal diseases can often be a great burden for patients, which is why treatment without face-to-face contact is very much appreciated.
Since April, BARMER policyholders have been able to use the teledoctor app to access the digital skin check, a treatment service provided by the online dermatology practice dermanostic.
Intuitive treatment process
The treatment in the teledoctor app can be carried out anywhere from home: three photos of the skin or nail changes and a questionnaire that has been answered are sent to the specially trained team of dermatologists via the app. Diagnosis and therapy recommendations are made within 48 hours. A prescription can also be issued.
For the telemedicine integration of the app, almeda was won as a technology provider to ensure the quality and efficiency of telemedicine services for patients.
The partnership of the three companies creates a great synergy for the healthcare sector. For this Dr. Ole Martin, co-founder and CEO of the telemedicine provider:
“We are very excited about the partnership between the three healthcare companies. By combining telemedicine and our specialist expertise, we can enable faster and more effective treatment of skin diseases for BARMER policyholders. We are convinced that this cooperation will improve the dermatological care of thousands of patients in the long term and we are pleased to be able to make this contribution to the healthcare system.”
