Traditional methods for hair and scalp consultations typically rely on dermatologists, trichologists, or plastic surgeons to manually assess hair conditions, leading to qualitative evaluations without immediate quantitative data. Moreover, these measures occasionally involve clipping, trimming, or cutting of already thinning hair for a time-consuming process that can take days to weeks to yield results.

Fortunately, Canfield Scientific’s HairMetrix^® software provides an AI-driven, non-invasive solution that revolutionizes hair consultations with unparalleled precision and efficiency, benefiting everyone in the practice. Let's explore what makes HairMetrix stand out as a superior alternative to conventional hair analysis techniques:

Benefits of HairMetrix:

• High-Resolution Imaging:
  You can easily capture trichoscopy images directly into HairMetrix with the tethered D200evo, delivering high resolution images, effortlessly. For a wireless consultation experience, you can use Canfield’s proVEOS^® digital dermatoscope.
• Real-Time Results:  
  Unlike traditional methods that rely on qualitative evaluations or lengthy laboratory wait times, HairMetrix immediately generates objective data, eliminating biases and ensuring consistency and speed in outcome monitoring.
• Quantitative Measurements: 
  HairMetrix provides quantitative measurements of key parameters including hair count per cm², sum of hair width per cm², terminal to vellus ratio, average number of hairs per follicular unit, and more. HairMetrix also measures the Anagen/Telogen ratio and growth rate for a more advanced understanding of the patient’s hair loss. This allows for appropriate treatment plans and objective outcome monitoring to be easily communicated to your patients.

HairMetrix significantly streamlines the consultation by providing a non-invasive, easy-to-use, and instantaneous solution that greatly reduces evaluation time compared to traditional manual methods. By integrating Canfield’s latest AI algorithms, the software also enhances accuracy and boosts your confidence when assessing patient conditions.
