Online service cuts office waits

Dermatologist Mark Seraly, M.D., and Pittsburgh investor Lawrence E. Eakin Jr., founded Iagnosis, which operates a service called Dermatologist on Call, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The service is based on software and services that Dr. Seraly developed and has used in his own practice for several years. Using a “store and forward” consultation method, patients can upload images at their convenience to be reviewed by one of seven dermatologists. Straightforward cases can see prescriptions within 72 hours, the Post-Gazette reports.
