A new era of dermoscopy – strategically and creatively aligned by KISKA. Usually, this non-invasive diagnosis technique is done by eye with a handheld microscope – but skeen takes this to a new level… 

Skeen takes the hassle out of diagnosis. Fast visualisation, secure data storage, and crystal-clear dermoscopic images—everything doctors need to diagnose with confidence. And KISKA created the central guiding idea which led the product, interface, and communication design. And the product name and claim too! 
 
The device slots cleanly into its charging dock, while the magnetic lens captures high-res skin images in seconds. Compact, lightweight, and easy to slip into any medical bag, it’s the perfect tool for busy practitioners. 
 
We linked up with real doctors to make skeen truly specialised for them. Encased in lightweight aluminium, the device is easy to use and disinfect, with a powerful AI tool built-in to effectively aid diagnosis of skin blemishes.  
 
Our designers built and tested various ergonomics in-house in a series of workshops. We experimented with various handle styles on foam or 3D-printed prototypes but ultimately settled on a braced, comfortable design with build-in handle.  

On the digital side, our UI/UX team defined the user journey of doctors and created an empathy map, determining where haptics should be placed for intuitive use. We streamlined the UI for fast, effective use and made the device as simple to use as possible – with physical and digital design combining for powerful output.  
 
The overall shape of the device remains approachable and patient-friendly, avoiding a clinical feel to foster better patient engagement. Skeen is precisely manufactured, with converging and diverging lines in the milled aluminium which gives it a premium and elegant feel.  

Our communication team ideated several ways to market this tool, with the result feeling gentle yet technologically advanced. A strong inter-studio connection between the design and communication teams ensured an effective and fast output, with the FotoFinder brand identity merged with soft, human-centric photorealism. 

In 2024, this product was awarded the German Design Award for ‘Excellent Product Design’. It was commended for its outstanding technical innovation, clever integration of AI, and overall design prowess.
