How we helped a client revolutionize
skin imaging solutions
As a part of medical imaging by Dermatologists, digital photography is becoming an essential part of diagnosis and treatment and, at the same time - improves the physician's ability to communicate with peers, patients, and the public. This case study is about how e-con Systems™ helped build a custom diagnostic dermatology device for its customer.
Challenges of accelerating
customer expectations
The customer, a leading healthcare expert, wanted a compact and high-quality camera for skin imaging, which is then analyzed by their diagnostic software to autonomously detect skin cancer. The camera needed to capture video and images from a graphical UI and ensure a hassle-free experience for the physician.

How e-con Systems™ delivered a
hassle-free solution
With a dedicated ISP and lens shading correction for the liquid lens, e-con Systems™ ensured superior color accuracy and uniform color distribution at low noise levels. Our camera also enabled high-speed image capture capabilities, with the Varioptic liquid lens - allowing close focus, an unlimited number of cycles, and outstanding resistance to vibration and mechanical shocks.

e-con System's off-the-shelf camera solution met every requirement of the customer and resulted in a short product development cycle. They were even able to move to volume production faster than anticipated!

Macro photography with excellent image quality and color reproduction rules the dermatology market. It’s a challenge to finalize the right lens or have the option to use multiple lenses to address the device functional requirements. e-con Systems™ has integrated its Cameras in many such Imaging systems, each with different optical requirements, and has found the right lens solutions for many such devices.
