Our Mission
Expanding access to timely, effective dermatology care for every patient, everywhere.
Our Story
Dermatic Health is a Boston-based digital health company building the standard for dermatology access and care. Founded in 2023 and incubated by Morningside, we are a focused team of healthcare technology veterans who understand both the complexity of health system workflows and the demands of frontline clinical practice.
Dermatic is designed for health systems and medical groups to optimize triage in dermatology, primary care, emergency departments, and urgent care, reduce low-acuity referrals, and free up dermatologists to work on high-value cases.
Our Values
At Dermatic, we are committed to supporting clinicians as they treat their patients with the utmost care and respect by DIALing in the accuracy of our tools and services.
Do No Harm - We hold ourselves to the same standards as clinicians. To earn a place in their workflow, they need to know we understand medicine and the weight of their role in patients’ lives.
Innovate with Purpose - We use evidence-based research and the latest technology to build tools clinicians actually want to use, not technology for technology’s sake.
Accountable for Our Product - Our tools are used when people are most vulnerable, so we build with that responsibility in mind from the start, not as an afterthought.
Learn Continuously - Medicine and technology move fast. We stay humble, keep pace with new research, and listen closely to our partners.
