Should I See…? is a digital triage tool designed to help patients decide whether a skin concern requires professional attention — guiding users to the right level of care at the right time. We’re tackling one of the NHS’s growing challenges: dermatology-related GP visits that often don’t require specialist input. Our solution empowers patients to self-assess their symptoms through a short questionnaire and optional photo upload, delivering safe, inclusive, and accessible guidance based on their responses. By supporting early decision-making and reducing unnecessary appointments, Should I See…? helps free up capacity for urgent cases, especially in underserved or rural communities where access to dermatology is limited. Our vision is to build a tool that’s inclusive across all skin tones, co-designed with patients and clinicians, and scalable across digital health ecosystems. With a strong research foundation and recent market validation funding, we’re developing our MVP, engaging stakeholders, and exploring integration with AI for the future of equitable dermatology triage.
