The Science Behind SKINBIT

Every mark, mapped.
Every change, documented.

SkinBit brings together three things dermatology has rarely had in one place: the whole skin surface, captured in close-up detail, tracked over time.

What Your dermatologist sees that the eye alone can't

SkinBit images your skin using high-resolution photography and cross-polarized light. The technique cuts surface glare to capture fine detail the naked eye can't see, creating a clear, consistent record for your dermatologist to review.

Standardized Imaging

The same protocol, every member, every visit.

Variability is the enemy of preventive medicine. SkinBit is built to reduce it. Every member, on every visit, captured the same way: the entire exposed skin surface, in a single pass, at the same resolution everywhere.

• Total-Surface Capture

The full exposed skin surface across fifteen anatomical regions, in one capture under controlled lighting.

• Cross-Polarized Optics

Polarized illumination cuts surface glare, resolving fine detail across the whole surface, not only at selected spots.

• Structured Metadata

Anatomical location, dimensions and lesion characteristics, recorded against your longitudinal record.

• Dermatologist Review

A board-certified dermatologist reads the full set and assigns each identified mark one of three recommendations: routine monitoring, more frequent monitoring, or referral for biopsy.

than the first.

"A lesion's change over time is the highest-signal data in dermatology." - Dr. Sancy Leachman

SkinBit makes that signal the default, not the privilege of high-risk patients with motivated clinicians. At every visit, your dermatologist reads today's skin against last year's, side by side, mark by mark.

The dermatologist makes every clinical call.

A SkinBit visit produces a deep set of images. Computer vision helps our dermatologists organize them and present year-over-year comparisons in a consistent order for review.

Our dermatologists read every scan and make every recommendation.

Your skin, documented. Visit after visit.
