E.E. Phelps, et al., Do medical images aid understanding and recall of medical information? An experimental study comparing the experience of viewing no image, a 2D medical image and a 3D medical image alongside a diagnosis, Patient Educ Couns (2017), doi.org/10.1016/j.pec.2016.12.034

RCS-100 can substitute or replace the traditional otoscope and dermatoscopy devices, providing the additional benefit of capturing and sharing the digital photograph or video of the ear canal and tympanic membrane, epidermis and dermis of skin, respectively.
Providing evidence of diagnosis and improving effectiveness of treatments
Healthcare and insurance providers, in particular, are becoming increasingly focused on evidence; evidence of a diagnosis and to approve treatments. RCS-100 can support this demand by providing images and/or videos of a multitude of diagnoses, monitoring diagnoses and tracking the effectiveness of treatments.
Doctors from universities in Warwick, England, found that when presented alongside a diagnosis, medical images may aid patient understanding, recall and trust in medical information and they may be a powerful resource for patients that could be utilised by clinicians during consultations 1.
Live video mode allows for online diagnosis, monitoring and treatment, particularly with specialists who may be located elsewhere.
