What doctors and other caregivers do is made easier and made possible by powerfull technology which is becoming almost ubiquitous. Patients expect to see it; physicians and staff rely on it. When considering notable, observable advancements, innovations in imaging are arguably chief among them. Various imaging and s
canning technologies have transformed virtually all specialties of care.
The LifeViz® Infinity Pro Series from Quantificare, Inc. U.S. (Suwanee, Ga.) puts your dedication to harnessing powerful technology for patients front and center. Its three-dimensional (3D) imaging capabilities are a gold standard within the aesthetic industry, serving to deepen consultation assessment and outcomes evaluation, as well as dramatically impact the patient consultation. The variety of high-resolution digital imaging capabilities offer multiple measures of skin and contour changes that can be visualized to reveal information and comparisons beyond what is possible with the naked eye. The outcome: informative consultations that boost patient engagement and confidence, raise conversion rates and maximize patient satisfaction with their treatment and overall experience. This groundbreaking technology not only enhances efficiency by automating wireless image transfer, but also employs artificial intelligence (AI) for seamless image analysis and organization, ensuring time-saving integration into practice workflow.
Facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Gregory Chernoff, MD (Santa Rosa, Calif.) relies on LifeViz® technology for research as well as improved diagnostics and clarity in consultations. “This technology takes high resolution 3D digital face or body photographs and can analyze them, then instantly make them available to office staff for the consult. Images can be used to highlight shape or volume, skin quality and tone, wrinkles and pores, oiliness, vascularity (red area), pigmentation and more. We can rotate them 360 degrees. When we have before and after pictures we can use a slider function for comparison,” he explained.
Quantificare’s patient image database is available for peer comparison based on age, gender, skin type and more, Dr. Chernoff continued. “Graphs are generated with values ranging from +10 to -10, where +10 measures the top 2.5% of the best patients, and -10 represents the lowest 2.5% of subjects. So, at a baseline, the patient can see how they compare to a population of their peers.”
As the pa
tient is educated, it gives the information more relevance and generates excitement. As results manifest, patient education and confidence are confirmed. “This also provides validated measures and demonstrates changes in measures, providing empirical proof for scientific studies. This is valuable for us as 25% of our practice is dedicated to research,” Dr. Chernoff added.
According to Dr. Chernoff, the effect of LifeViz® technology on return on investment reaches beyond the device itself. The numbers in his office prove it. “Higher patient conversion for treatments on the front end, high patient satisfaction on the back end, across the board, when LifeViz® visualization is used,” he reported. “It not only pays for itself, LifeViz® helps other treatments pay for themselves. Over the years hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in higher treatment plan acceptance can be attributed to the visualization technology, education-based confidence, and better understanding of results. Our patients tell us this technology helps them. A happy patient is the best source of referrals, and they tend to refer more people when they have been engaged and see verifiable results.”
