Use clinical cameras in Exam Mode
Capture images and video from the examination camera, otoscope and other imaging devices.
What this is: how to capture clinical images and video in ProEX Camera Mode.
Who it’s for: nurses and health workers imaging skin, wounds, ears and throats during a consult.
Open Camera Mode
- In ProEX, open Exam Mode.
- Click Camera.
- Select the camera you want to use.
For the GEIS examination camera, choose VF GEIS VirtualCam. This lets you take images with the capture button on the camera itself.
Capture images and video
- Capture a still image.
- Record video.
- Freeze the live feed to hold a frame while you talk it through.
- Burst Mode takes a series of photos. Useful when the patient finds it hard to keep still.
- Delayed Capture waits a set time before taking the image. Useful when you need both hands on the camera or the patient is away from the computer.
Captured items go to the Gallery. Review them, remove any you don’t need, then click Save Session.
Device Settings
Use Device Settings to:
- set your default camera by moving it to the top of the list
- choose which cameras appear as diagnostic cameras.
Tips for consistent clinical images
- Use the Derma Hood on the GEIS camera for skin and wound images. It blocks room light, so colour stays the same from one review to the next.
- Add the reference stick or a derma hood cap with its mm scale so the clinician can judge size.
- Image the same wound from the same angle and distance each time.
- Use View All Media in the patient record to compare images side by side.
If a camera doesn’t appear
- Unplug the camera and plug it back in.
- Go back to Exam Mode, then open Camera again.
- Check the camera is listed in Device Settings.
