Introducing Dermi Atlas: Clinical Photography Under Your Control

Dermi Atlas is now available, a self-hosted clinical photography platform designed to give healthcare practices full control over their imaging data. Built from the ground up for data sovereignty and regulatory compliance, and developed alongside peer-reviewed research in dermatological image analysis, Dermi Atlas addresses the critical gap between consumer photography tools and the strict requirements of clinical environments. The platform was designed from the outset with an architecture that can support the future integration of validated research methods as they are developed for clinical use.

The Problem with Clinical Photography Today

Clinical photography in dermatology has long relied on fragmented workflows. Patient images are captured on personal smartphones, stored in consumer cloud services, and shared through channels that were never designed for protected health information. The result is a patchwork of compliance risks, inconsistent documentation, and lost clinical data.

These challenges are not merely inconvenient. They represent real risks to patient privacy and regulatory compliance. Practices need a purpose-built solution that treats clinical photography with the same rigor applied to other aspects of patient care.

What Makes Dermi Atlas Different

Dermi Atlas takes a fundamentally different approach. The platform is self-hosted, meaning all patient images and data remain within the clinic's own infrastructure. No patient data is transmitted to external cloud servers. This local-first architecture ensures that practices maintain complete ownership and control over their clinical imaging data.

Key differentiators include:

• Self-hosted deployment with no external data transmission
• Purpose-built for clinical photography workflows in dermatology
• Compliance-ready design for HIPAA and PIPEDA requirements
• Full TLS encryption for all data in transit across the local network
• Real-time synchronization across all connected devices via WebSocket

Product Editions

Dermi Atlas Professional is the full self-hosted platform, deployed on-premises via Docker through Dermi Atlas Manager, a desktop application available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It provides complete control over deployment, backups, updates, and SSL certificate management.

Dermi Atlas Cloud Demo offers free access to explore the platform's core features and workflows without installation. Some features are restricted in the demo to minimize data collection. Available at demo.atlas.dermi.ai, the cloud demo is intended for evaluation purposes and should not be used with real patient data.

Getting Started

For a comprehensive overview of the platform, the Introduction to Dermi Atlas documentation provides detailed information about capabilities and architecture. The Quick Start Guide walks through the complete setup process in approximately 30 minutes.

A free trial is available through Dermi Portal. Clinical photography should be secure, compliant, and under the practice's control. With Dermi Atlas, it is.
