Briefs from the aesthetics industry, as it responds to COVID-19

Henry Schein Medical. Henry Schein Medical is making VisualDx available to assist health care professionals seeing patients virtually or in person amid the COVID-19 outbreak. The web-based, clinical decision support system is designed to enhance diagnostic accuracy, aid therapeutic decisions, and improve patient care, all critically important for clinicians on the front lines of medicine.

VisualDx can be accessed from a computer desktop, tablet, or mobile application and is part of Henry Schein Medical’s SolutionHub™. It helps health care professionals navigate diagnostic challenges by using the software to enhance clinical decision-making. With VisualDx, a clinician can build a custom differential diagnosis; search by disease for quick therapy and treatment options; review and compare a curated medical image library; understand medication reactions; and share patient handouts via email.

To participate in VisualDx’s 90-day offer, health care professionals have to activate their account with VisualDx by May 31. To sign up, visit www.visualdx.com/raisetheline.
