1. About SkinAid
SkinAid is a web application that allows the user to view optical and ultrasound image recordings and their associated metadata (lesion location, patient's year of birth, optional notes) that are both being anonymously stored on the Cloud. The web application allows the user to make annotations on the images. This helps in communication between the dermatologist and the colleague performing the treatment procedure. The image and the associated anonymous metadata can be shared by the dermatologist and accessed by a surgeon or operating dermatologist performing the treatment procedure, using a unique link and a password specified by the dermatologist performing the annotation.
2. How to Start
The software is available at www.skinaid.app, where the user can sign in with a registered email address and a corresponding password.

A single patient's page contains a general information of the patient (patient ID, birth year, sex, patient notes), access to previously added lesions, and a shortcut to add a new lesion.
You can add a new lesion by clicking on the plus sign icon at the bottom right corner. The location of the lesion can be selected on the following body schematic. You can swipe the image left or right to switch between front and back views of the body schematic. You can also zoom in for higher precision of the selection (using mouse scroll or two-fingers zooming gesture).
The lesion location can be selected by clicking/tipping on the corresponding point of the schematic. You can modify your selection by clicking/tipping on another point (only the last selected point will be saved).
It is possible to choose from a list of notes in the text box below the image to add a lesion-level note. You can also save the selected lesion location by clicking on the “Add lesion” button. This leads to the single lesion screen of the added lesion.
On the single lesion screen, the relevant region of the body schematic with the selected lesion location, the lesion note and the lesion diagnosis are shown alongside the primary patient information (patient ID, birth year, sex). This is the screen from which single recordings of the lesion can be opened or new recordings can be added in various ways and forms.

There are three ways of adding a recording to a lesion of a patient. All of them can be started by hovering over the “Ⓥ” button on a single lesion screen.
