The Problem

Your camera roll is not a
documentation system.

Most residents fall into one of two traps: shooting on a personal iPhone โ€” fast but non-compliant, inconsistent, and unorganized โ€” or investing in a DSLR setup that's expensive, requires manual uploads, and still leaves you with folders of unsorted files. Either way, you arrive at chief year without a board-ready library. ImageAssist was built to close that gap.

โš ๏ธ

HIPAA Liability on Personal Devices

Patient photos on your personal iPhone is a HIPAA violation โ€” one you may not realize you're carrying until it's too late.

๐Ÿ“ท

DSLRs Are Expensive & Slow

A proper DSLR setup costs thousands, requires a dedicated space, and still means manually uploading, renaming, and sorting every image yourself.

๐Ÿ“

Inconsistent Positioning

Without standardized guides, pre- and post-op pairs won't match โ€” and oral board examiners will notice immediately.

๐Ÿ“„

Missing Consent Forms

Paper consent for photography is easy to lose, skip, or forget โ€” creating gaps in your documentation trail at the worst possible time.

๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ

No Organization System

Whether it's a phone camera roll or a DSLR hard drive, photos pile up with no structure โ€” leaving you scrambling to build your case library in chief year.

The Solution

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

ImageAssist was built by a board-certified plastic surgeon who saw exactly what residents were missing. Every feature exists because a real clinical problem demanded it.

01
๐Ÿ“ฑ

SmartGuides

Overlay guides built on ASPS photographic standards. Align the body part, follow the guide, capture a standardized image โ€” every time, without thinking about it.

02
๐Ÿ”’

HIPAA-Compliant Cloud

03
โœ๏ธ

Digital Consent, Built In

Patients sign photo consent directly on your iPhone or iPad at the point of care. Consent PDFs are downloadable instantly from the web app.

04
๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ

Automatic Background Removal

05

Web App Management

Log in from any browser to manage photos, download consent forms, review galleries, and build out your oral board case library โ€” all in one place.

โ€œI built ImageAssist because I watched residents do everything right in the OR โ€” and then scramble to prove it at boards. The documentation system should never be the weak link.โ€

Our Story

Built by a surgeon
who lived this.

ImageAssist wasn't designed by a software company that discovered healthcare. It was built by Dr. Michael Golinko โ€” Chief of Plastic Surgery at Vanderbilt Health โ€” who watched residents struggle with the same documentation problems year after year.

The SmartGuides are based on ASPS standards he knows intimately. The workflow is designed around how residents actually work โ€” in the OR, in clinic, on their feet. This is the platform he wished existed when he was training.
