PICTURE REQUEST GUIDELINES

CAMERA AND BACKGROUND SETTINGS

• Take your picture against a solid, dark background to avoid backlight and glare;
• Use the flash and zoom settings to allow you to capture the image more clearly;
• Take photos from several distances and angles to best capture the subject, but
maintain a distance of at least 30cm between the subject (skin or laboratory
result) and the camera

HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH LABORATORY RESULTS

A copy of the laboratory result must contain the following in one image. You may send
multiple images as long as the general view containing the following is included. Please
make sure that the results are clear and readable.

1. Name of Patient
2. Attending Physician
3. Medical Facility
4. Date of Laboratory

HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH CHANGES IN THE SKIN AND EYES


OPTIMAL PHOTOS

• Optimal distance between camera and object is 40-60 cm


• Take two views: General view and Targeted view
• Target view: close-up photo with a ruler or a coin next to the skin to clearly see
any changes in the skin and to compare the size;
• Side-view showing whether the skin is raised or even;
• General view (zoomed out) indicating on which body part the change in skin
occurred and allowing a full view of the healthy and unhealthy skin;
• Get someone to take the photo for you, or use a table and the timer, to
photograph parts of the body that are less accessible to you.

Please send at least three unedited photos as an attachment to Medgate by just replying
to the email received.

Be aware that most email providers block emails with a total attachment size bigger
than 10 MB. Should you wish to send multiple images and the total size exceeds 10
MB, kindly send multiple emails.

Your photos may be reviewed by a male or female doctor and will be stored securely at
Medgate Telemedicine Centre.
Please send a current photo of the affected area. Medgate undertake procedures to
verify authenticity of photos being sent by patients. False images may lead to incorrect
diagnosis and serious consequences. Medgate reserves the right to refuse consultation
upon review of images.
