The 'DermLite' smart skin scanner is designed to enable consumers to track the health of their skin using the simply device and their existing smartphone. The 'DermLite' allows users to detect skin changes sooner and even take photos of it with the medical-grade optical lens for comparison or sharing with a healthcare professional.

The accompanying app that works with the 'DermLite' device teaches users about skin cancer, allows for the sending of photos to dermatologists and much more.

The 'DermLite' smart skin scanner works with the iPhone 6S and could help reduce the guesswork when it comes to detecting skin changes or problems. The device is part of a larger movement in the healthcare industry that's growing to favor consumer-driven health initiatives catering to many demographics and particularly Boomers.
