How it works

From five phone photos to a doctor-approved prescription — in minutes.

No dermatoscope. No special lighting rig. Five guided photos and a short health questionnaire — in the clinic's own app or at the front desk — become a measured report and a prescription your doctor signs, delivered on WhatsApp.

Step 01 · Capture · ~90 s

Five guided photos. Any phone. Any staff member.

The SDK overlays a head silhouette for each angle — front, left, right, top and back — and only accepts a frame when alignment, focus and lighting pass. Capture takes about ninety seconds — at the front desk, or by the patient at home from the clinic's app.

  • Automatic quality gating — blur, glare and tilt rejected on-device
  • Works in ordinary clinic lighting; no dermatoscope or tripod
  • Encrypted in transit and at rest; stored in India (Mumbai region)

Step 02 · Health questionnaire

Then a few questions the photos can't answer.

10–15 short questions follow the photos, so treatment is personalised to the patient's history — not just the scalp. Answers sit next to the photos, so the drafted prescription fits the person — not just the scalp.

  • Sex and age
  • Family planning
  • Recent illness, fever or viral infection
  • How long the hair loss has been noticed
  • …and more clinically relevant questions

Step 03 · AI grade & zone analysis · Seconds

A vision model trained the way a trichologist looks.

Trichora's model was trained on more than 10,000 multi-angle scalp images, each annotated by hair specialists who marked the true hairline, outlined every area of visible thinning and graded the pattern. The model learned to do the same, consistently.

The result is not a yes/no "balding" flag. It is a map across all five views: the hairline from the front, zone contours from the top, the temporal bands from each side and the occipital region from the back — every region outlined where the model sees thinning.

Step 04 · Clinic report · < 60 s

Every contour becomes a thinning % the patient can follow.

Each zone gets a thinning % — the share of scalp visible through the hair, from 0% (full coverage) to 100% (scalp fully visible). The pattern is staged on Norwood–Hamilton 1–7 or Ludwig I–III. Side and back regions are flagged present or absent. There is no overall score: zones and grade form the baseline every future visit is measured against.

Steps 05–09 · Prescribe, deliver, follow up

The doctor signs. The patient has it on WhatsApp — in minutes.

The clinic's own treatment protocol is applied to the report and the questionnaire answers to draft a personalised prescription. A registered doctor reviews the findings and the draft, edits what they want and e-signs — about two minutes. The draft never reaches the patient on its own.

The moment the doctor approves, the report, the signed prescription and an order link arrive on WhatsApp. The link opens the clinic's own order page; a licensed pharmacy partner dispenses against the signed prescription and delivers to the door. At the re-scan, every zone and the grade are compared with the baseline.
