What kind of evaluation is Casio's Dermo camera overseas?Reasons why Taiwanese dermatologists use every day

Dr. Ying-Jui Chang

Almost everyone shoots with a Dermo camera

――Chan -sensei asked him to use Casio's Dermo camera and Dermo Socope on a regular basis.How do you usually operate?

チャン医師：「普段は、新北（シンペイ）市内の私のクリニックで使っています。新北市は台湾北部の台北市と隣接する、比較的新しい高層都市です。台北市や基隆市と一緒に台北都市圏と称される大都市の一つになっています。

I have been working as a dermatologist for over 20 years.Not only skin pigment disease, but also care for scabies, acne mite infectious diseases, nails, hair, etc., and also perform skin surgery.It also runs a beauty dermatology, dermatology, and provides aesthetic services.I sometimes go to a part -time hospital, as well as use at my clinic, so I take it in my bag and use it.

In the case of cosmetic surgery, the dermoscopy test is always used for evaluation before and after surgery.Before laser treatment, we check the dermoscopy test of the general form of the nevus to speculate how to cut the depth and lesion of the nevus.

The clinic examines 70 to 80 people a day, and about 100 patients in many cases.It is about 1,500 people on a month.Patients are a wide range of ages from the elderly to infants, and women and women are a little more women in beauty dermatology.Almost everyone uses Dermoscope.

In Taiwan, it is mandatory to take a medical insurance department to take a picture of the disease.For this reason, no patient basically dislikes being taken in photos.It is also used to show a change to patients who come to the hospital again one year after treatment.There is no problem because it explains the use of use.In Taiwan, paper chart is rarely used, and electronic medical records are the mainstream.The images taken are listed there. "

――What are the benefits of shooting with DZ-D100 every time?

チャン医師：「大きく3つあります。1つ目は皮膚科専門医向けに作られていること。2つ目は診断プロセスの信頼性を高めてくれること。3つ目は通常モードと接写モードの切り替えが容易な点です。

The DZ-D100 can measure the size using a scale.Polarized, non -polarized, and UVs can be taken at high quality at the same angle of view, so it is easy to check by comparison.

Since you can also shoot videos, we also perform a wobble test (fluctuating test) to see the state of the dermal pigmented nevus.In addition, we sometimes use optional parts to connect to a microscope and see pathology.

The camera and the monitor can be connected with an HDMI cable to prove the shooting image, so it is convenient to explain important findings to patients in real time. "

―― I was surprised that it seemed to have been used quite well.Casio has not yet released DZ-D100 and DZ-S50 in Taiwan.How did you know?

チャン医師：「2017年に韓国で開催された大韓民国皮膚科学会（KDA）の会場で、東京女子医科大学東医療センターの田中 勝先生のセミナーを受講したのがきっかけです。セミナーで田中先生がDZ-D100を紹介していて良さそうだなと思いました。当時はまだ開発中でプロトタイプの紹介でした」

――How was your first impression in your hand?

チャン医師：「DZ-D100もDZ-S50も大変気に入りました。DZ-D100は新しいおもちゃを手にした子供のようにいろいろ試しました。DZ-S50も小さく使いやすく、手に持った時に『これだ！』としっくり感じたのを覚えています」

I want you to start regular sales in Taiwan as soon as possible

―― Please let us know what you used.

チャン医師：「記録を残すうえで素晴らしく役立っています。私は総合病院の研修医へ指導もしていますが、そこでもこのDZ-D100を紹介しました。先程も述べたとおり、いつもDZ-D100とDZ-S50をカバンに入れて持ち運び、病院では誰でも使えるようにしています。まだ販売前なので台湾の開業医の中では、私の知っている範囲では他に使っている先生はいませんが、正式に販売されるようになれば浸透していくと思います。

I use a few units, including Dermo cameras.I also have an ordinary SLR, and I sometimes use it when the battery runs out.We also do beauty dermatology, so we also have cameras that shoot the entire face dedicated to beauty system.The camera that shoots the entire face is quite large because it is taken by pressing the face. "

――Are there any places where you did not understand the operation or where you could use it unexpectedly before purchasing?

チャン医師：「操作はすぐに慣れ、不明のところも特にありませんでした。想定していなかった使い方としては接写が挙げられます。普通のカメラではレンズを皮膚に密着して撮影することはありませんが、DZ-D100では近接撮影どころか、本当に密着して撮影できます。レンズの汚れはハンカチなどで拭けば良いので助かります。保護フィルムも販売しているとのことなので、カメラと一緒に台湾で正式販売してほしいです」

――The sale in Taiwan is scheduled to start in 2022, so please look forward to it.The DZ-D100 and DZ-S50 won the Best Design Award at the Golden Pin Design Award 2021 (gold point design 獎 2021), one of the leading design awards in the Greater China.We believe that sales in Taiwan will have a boost.

チャン医師：「それはおめでとうございます。症例データなどは、多くの先生が利用することで生きてくるものなので、学会などの先生方が集まる場所で紹介できるよう頑張ってください」

―― Thank you for today.

Started sales in Australia and the United States

The incidence of skin cancer varies greatly depending on the country and region.Taiwan tends to be much different from Japan, and if many dermatology in Taiwanese can use dermas cameras, there will be many cases that are close to Japanese.In addition, it is purely proud of the fact that Japanese manufacturers' products are evaluated overseas, such as won awards at Golden Pin Design Award 2021.

Casio started selling overseas in February 2021 in Australia and New Zealand, and in November with the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States, Casio America this year.We plan to start selling on the EC site.Is Dermo camera and Dermo Socope evaluated globally?I would like to look forward to the future development that makes Made in Japan feel the power.
