Level Ex, creator of a medical video games for physicians, announces its expansion into the field of dermatology with the launch of its newest medical mobile game,ย Top Derm.

The companyโ€™s fifth specialty-specific game covers a wide variety of dermatology topics with original dermatological imagery, and will soon provide dermatologists with the opportunity to earn free continuing medical education credits (CME).

Designed as a medical resource for dermatologists that addresses both common and rare skin disorders, Top Derm provides an opportunity for dermatologists to strengthen their skills and remain up-to-date with the latest industry techniques, treatments, and products through quick-burst challenges, Level Ex shares in a news release.

Despite the visual nature of the dermatology field, there is a scarcity of high-quality imagery for many dermatologic disorders. Harnessing cutting-edge visual effects and video game technology, Level Exโ€™s team built the dermatologist-approved DeepSkinFX Generator, which can create medically accurate, high-resolution imagery of any skin disorder on any region of the body and on any skin tone.

Combining exclusive, detailed images with neuroscience-based game mechanics, Top Derm creates an engaging educational experience and gives dermatologists the ability to visualize and understand a wide variety of medical scenarios anywhere, at any time.

โ€œOver 140 dermatologists collaborated with the video game industryโ€™s top designers, developers, and artists to advance the field of dermatology through play. As someone who has spent his career pushing the cutting-edge of video game graphics, Iโ€™m especially impressed by what weโ€™ve achieved visually with our computer-generated images in Top Derm.

“Using industry-leading VFX technology, weโ€™ve built a system capable of rendering images so realistic that dermatologists struggle to discern them from real photos.โ€

— Sam Glassenberg, CEO and founder of Level Ex
