DermLite App
The DermLite App is a free iPhone app for dermoscopy image capture, lesion monitoring, and AI-assisted skin cancer assessment developed by DermLite in partnership with FotoFinder. Compatible with the DermLite DL5 Plus, DL5, DL4, and DL200 dermatoscopes, the app transforms your iPhone into a complete clinical dermoscopy system. Capture dermoscopic and clinical images, precisely map lesion locations, compare follow-up images side by side, and optionally access FotoFinder AIMEE AI risk scores all within a secure, Australian-hosted cloud workflow.
For full details on the DL5 Plus Bluetooth features, see the DermLite DL5 Plus dermatoscope. Read our dermlite App announcement for a full overview of features and workflow guidance
YOUR DERMOSCOPY WORKFLOW, PERFECTED
The DermLite app helps you document, locate, and monitor lesions and body regions over time — all in one consistent workflow.
Capture dermoscopic and clinical images, precisely map lesions on clinical overview photos, and return for easy, accurate follow-ups with consistent imaging and side-by-side comparison. Longitudinal documentation and decision-making become fast, reliable, and repeatable.

CALIBRATED FOR YOUR DERMLITE SCOPE.
Purpose-built for DermLite dermatoscopes, the app automatically
calibrates camera behavior, including exposure and zoom, to your
specific DermLite model — whether Bluetooth-enabled or not.
The result: more accurate, consistent, and truly comparable images over time and across DermLite models.
- Add your DermLite dermatoscope
- Automatic camera calibration per DermLite model
- Wirelessly control compatible Bluetooth-enabled DermLite devices
CAPTURE. COMPARE. FOLLOW UP
Designed around how Dermatologists and Skin Cancer Doctors actually work.
- Quickly add basic patient information or create completely anonymous or semi-anonymous patients (using your own patient IDs)
- Capture and manage multiple dermoscopic images of the same lesion or body region over time
- Compare images side by side and track lesion evolution
- Place dermoscopic images on clinical overview photos using lesion markers
- Assign anatomical localisations using a 2D body map
- Simple, fast, and intuitive workflows for both short and long-term follow-ups
SECURE BY DESIGN
Dermatology images deserve their own secure space — separate from personal photos.
- Import dermatology images while keeping medical data out of your private photo library
- Automatic backup to Hub, FotoFinder’s secure cloud platform (attractive plans are available)
- Hub online portal offers: Ability to access your data from any browser, Create and share patient reports, Review, organise, and manage cases efficiently
AI SMARTS
An optional second opinion — always under your control.
- Use FotoFinder AIMEE, an EU MDR-compliant*, clinically validated AI service providing risk scores and decision support.
- Obtain an AI Score for any suitable dermoscopic image with a single tap, within seconds
- Supports reflection and self-assessment while keeping clinical responsibility where it belongs — with you
*FotoFinder AI is also in the process of being listed on the ARTG (expected June 2026) but until it is, it may be used for research purposes only.
