Bantham RADAR - Remote Dermatology Assessment and Triage Platform
Overview
Bantham RADAR was developed to support faster dermatology triage by allowing patients to submit clinically relevant skin condition information remotely. Intelivita developed a mobile application that guides patients through identity verification, symptom reporting, medical questionnaires, and clinical image capture, while securely transferring structured patient data to healthcare providers to support remote diagnosis and triage decisions.
The Challenge
The project involved 5 primary challenges.
Access to Dermatology Care
Patients often experience long waiting times for dermatology assessments and specialist appointments.
Incomplete Remote Submissions
Clinicians frequently receive low-quality images or incomplete symptom descriptions through traditional remote consultations.
Patient Anxiety and Uncertainty
Skin conditions often create concern and distress while patients wait for medical evaluation.
Clinical Workflow Efficiency
Healthcare providers require structured and consistent patient data to support fast triage decisions.
Healthcare Data Security
Patient submissions must comply with strict healthcare data protection and security requirements.
The Solutions
To overcome the challenges, five key solutions were developed and executed with precision.
Structured Digital Triage
Developed guided questionnaires to capture consistent symptom and medical history information.
Guided Clinical Image Capture
Implemented step-by-step photography guidance to ensure clinically usable dermatology images.
3D Condition Mapping
Introduced an interactive body model to allow patients to select the exact location of a skin condition.
Multi-Format Symptom Reporting
Enabled patients to submit structured responses, written descriptions, and voice notes.
Secure Data Transfer
Implemented encrypted data transmission and secure infrastructure for patient information handling.
Secure Login and Onboarding
Patients access the platform through secure login and guided onboarding explaining data usage and privacy protection.
Patient Identity Verification
The application verifies patient identity using NHS number, case reference number, and date of birth.
Skin Type Selection
Patients identify their skin type using a visual scale that supports accurate clinical interpretation of submitted images.
3D Body Mapping
Patients select the exact location of their condition using an interactive 3D body model that can rotate and support multiple selections.
Symptom Reporting
Patients describe their symptoms using structured medical descriptors with optional text input.
Clinical Questionnaire
Patients complete guided medical questions covering condition duration, treatments, medications, and medical history.
Mole and Lesion Assessment
The platform captures clinically relevant indicators such as size changes, colour variation, shape changes, and bleeding.
Guided Image Capture
Patients capture dermatology images using step-by-step instructions and visual overlays to ensure clinical quality.
Image Review
Patients review and retake images before submission to ensure accurate and usable medical data.
Technology Stack
The Result
Intelivita delivered Bantham RADAR as a mobile dermatology triage platform that enables patients to submit structured skin condition information remotely. The system combines guided symptom reporting, clinical image capture, and secure data transfer to provide clinicians with complete patient information for faster triage decisions. The platform improves access to dermatology care while helping healthcare providers manage increasing demand through remote assessment workflows.
