iXope acts as a hybrid dermatoscope. It can be used contactless, or with skin contact by using a specific adaptor. Like other dermatoscopes, the iXope has polarized and non-polarized light. It also has a blue light which may he helpful in skin examination of some infectious skin diseases. The iXope will be developed to have the same clarity and colours like analogue dermatoscopes.

iXope will come with its own software which supports doctors to save and compare images of skin lesions over time. The high-resolution images are true in color and consistent quality to ensure high level of accuracy. The images can be directly imported into the patient’s file within seconds. Additionally, doctors will be also able to share these images with patients or colleagues to get their opinion.

Since iXope is a digital hybrid dermatoscope, it can be employed to quickly scan the skin without making contact. It can also be used to spot-check skin lesions with an adaptor which has optical magnification. The digital features allow iXope to have magnification to identify even small structures of concern within skin lesions. The device has polarised and non-polarised light to provide optimal illumination and balanced colour, ensuring each captured image has the same clarity with a distortion-free field of view.
Skin lesions can be conveniently viewed on iXope’s HD screen during the examination. Additionally, images can be transferred wirelessly with a simple click to the computer where the high-resolution images can be viewed on a large screen in detail. The images may be imported into the patients file and enables the doctor to share the images with patients and colleagues alike.

Every year, there are around 320, newly diagnosed skin cancers in Australia alone!
Common skin cancers include melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or intra-epidermal skin cancer (IEC). These can appear spontaneously or arise from sun damaged skin like solar keratosis (SK). Sadly, if diagnoses are made too late, it can cause extensive scars and, in some cases, complicate treatment. When it comes to skin cancer, early detection is the key. Due to iXope’s ability to take high-definition images, it can be an effective tool for experts to detect and combat early-stage skin cancer.

iXope’s magnification and image clarity when displayed on the screen or the computer can play a critical role in assisting with skin checks for both general practitioners and within skin cancer clinics. The versatility of iXope means the images can be wirelessly sent to the doctor’s computer where the images can be attached to the patient’s file.
As we know, skin lesions and moles can change over time. Whilst skin clinics are using devices that capture accurate, quality and consistent imagery to monitor skin changes, the current software is expensive. The iXope has the exact features, enabling accurate and a comprehensive assessment for clinics and specialists at a more affordable price.
