First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for viewing and recording skin images comprising:
- a device for capturing a plurality of overlapping images of a patient;
a server for storing and transmitting patient images and patient information;
at least one of a computer and/or a mobile computing device in communication with the server; and
a processor configured to be in communication with a program application that places a grid on top of a total body image created from the plurality of overlapping images of a patient to create a total human body navigational grid having sections that can be selected and magnified by a health care worker to further view an area of skin contained within the selected section of the total human body navigational grid in more detail wherein a reduced size image of the total human body navigational grid is displayed on the magnified image of the selected section of the total human body navigational grid that has been selected by the healthcare worker to view in more detail and wherein the program application further includes one or more boundary configurations that can be used to draw a boundary around an area of concern identified on the area of skin contained within the magnified selected section of the total human body navigational grid, an ability to select one or more written categories that identify which body part contains the area of concern and areas of the body part where the area of concern is located, and an ability to compare the area of concern with previous recorded images of the same area of concern to enable a side by side comparison of the area of concern taken at different times.

7. A method for viewing and recording skin images comprising the steps of:
-
obtaining a plurality of overlapping images of a patient; creating a total body image from the overlapping images of the patient; placing a grid on top of the total body image to create a total human body navigational grid having sections that can be selected and magnified to further observe an area of skin in more detail; placing a reduced size image of the total human body navigational grid on a selected and magnified section of the total human body navigational grid to guide a viewer on where they are in the patient'"'"'s body; recording an area of concern on the patient'"'"'s skin by drawing a boundary around the area of concern contained within the selected and magnified section of the total human body navigational grid; selecting and recording one or more written categories that identify which body part contains the area of concern and areas of the body part where the area of concern is located; and comparing the area of concern with previous recorded images of the same area of concern to enable a side by side comparison of the area of concern taken at different times. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
