"Recently I used VisualDx to help me diagnose erythema nodosum in a 47-year-old woman with painful red nodules on her shins. It made me feel more comfortable with my diagnosis, and I appreciated the management tips. The patient was amazed at the technology at my fingertips and assured that she was getting the most up-to-date and knowledgeable care. Thanks for all the information and user friendliness you have built into your app."
"Utilizing the VisualDx app on my phone and printing relevant patient education handouts via the website empowers my patients to educate themselves about their diagnoses and know that evidence-based medicine is being practiced. I feel that this tool leads to greater patient satisfaction and outstanding customer service in our practice."
"VisualDx has certainly made my time in clinical practice worthwhile. Convenience is the most valuable option VisualDx offers to me. I am very busy, so I don't have time to go through a book looking for a diagnosis. I no longer feel intimidated when I see 'unknown rash' on the schedule. I just whip out my application, load the differential builder, and go from there! Thank you, VisualDx!"

For too long, patients with pigmented skin have been marginalized and faced worse outcomes than their peers with lighter skin colors. Textbooks, dermatology atlases, and other resources have traditionally underrepresented presentations of disease in people of color.
For over 20 years, VisualDx has been committed to providing a comprehensive resource for medical images across all skin types. We know the importance of helping healthcare professionals with the challenges and subtleties of recognizing skin changes in patients with darker skin pigmentation. Equally important is the ability to engage with patients of color by showing them images that look like them or the way a diagnosis manifests on dark skin. This can build confidence and trust—an essential part of practicing exemplary medicine.
