Clinic management software for skin and hair clinics

Curogrid is clinic management software for dermatologists and skin and hair clinics in India. Pick Dermatology in clinic setup and it adds a Procedure Room department, ten starter services from dermoscopy to chemical peels, and 42 skin and hair medicine names offered as you type. Laser, peel and PRP sessions are booked as a course, each shown as “Session 2 of 4”.

Software for a dermatology, skin and hair clinic in India

A skin doctor's clinic is part consultation and part procedure room, and so is an aesthetic or cosmetic clinic run by a dermatologist. Curogrid's Dermatology setup covers both: consultations with topical and oral prescriptions, and courses of chemical peel, laser and PRP sessions that are booked together. As skin clinic management software it also runs the token line, the appointment book and the billing desk.

As an EMR for a dermatologist it records each visit's complaint, examination, diagnosis, medicines, tests and advice, and keeps clinical photographs in the patient's file with a signed consent. Only the weight box is shown on a skin visit at first, with the other vitals behind “All vitals”. There is no body map and no side-by-side photograph view.

For a skin and hair clinic

Three things Curogrid does for a dermatologist

  1. 01

    A course of sessions, booked once

    Turn on “Book treatment sessions (laser, peels)” and the whole course is booked together: four sessions four weeks apart, 30 minutes each, unless you change it. Every booking shows its place, such as “Session 2 of 4”.

  2. 02

    Directions the way a dermatologist writes them

    “Thin layer on affected area”, “On the scalp”, “Wash off after 5 minutes”, “Alternate nights” and “Twice a week” are ready to pick, so a prescription for a topical reads the way you would say it. “6 weeks”, “2 months” and “3 months” are offered for how long.

  3. 03

    Consent for photographs is part of the setup

    Before-and-after photographs are how a skin clinic shows progress, and a clinical photograph is personal data. So the Clinical photographs consent form is included from the first day, signed on screen.

10 starter services and prices for a skin and hair clinic

Pick “Dermatology” in clinic setup and these services are in your price list before your first patient. Curogrid shows you the full list first and adds nothing until you press the button. The prices are starter prices for a small city practice. Change every one, rename what you call differently and delete what you do not offer.

Diagnoses (20)

For a skin and hair clinic the list covers acne and its scars, melasma and other pigmentation, hair fall and pattern hair loss, the fungal infections, eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, urticaria and warts. Many carry the everyday word, so typing “melasma” finds chloasma.

  • Acne vulgaris

  • Hypertrophic scar (keloid)
  • Rosacea

Show the other 5

  • Vitiligo
  • Urticaria
  • Lichen planus
  • Viral warts

The general OPD lists stay available after these names: 37 medicines, 22 tests and 9 scans, listed on the general practice page. The diagnoses above are 20 of the 365 in the ICD-10 list every Curogrid clinic searches by name or by code. A diagnosis that is not in the list is written in your own words. These lists are taken from the Curogrid app and were last checked on .

Step by step

A day in a skin and hair clinic with Curogrid

Each step below is something the app does today. Nothing here is planned or coming.

  1. 1. At the first consultation

    Weight first, the rest when you need it

    A skin visit shows the weight box only, because some medicines are dosed by weight. The other vitals are behind “All vitals”. The visit records the complaint, examination, diagnosis, medicines, tests and advice.

  2. 2. Writing the prescription

    Topicals in your own words

    Type a name and the skin and hair medicines are offered first. Pick “Thin layer on affected area”, “On the scalp” or “Alternate nights”, and “6 weeks” or “3 months” for how long. A KOH scraping, a skin biopsy or a patch test is one tap.

  3. 3. Planning a course

    Book the sessions together

    In the booking drawer, turn on “Book treatment sessions (laser, peels)”. Curogrid books four sessions, four weeks apart, 30 minutes each, at the same time of day. Change the number or the gap before you save.

    How appointments work
  4. 4. Before a procedure

    Two consents, signed with a finger

    The patient reads “Procedure or operation” and “Clinical photographs” on the screen and signs each with a finger. The wording that was read, the name and the signature are kept in the file under Consents.

  5. 5. In the procedure room

    Photographs in the file

    Photographs are added to the patient's Files from the phone or the computer, several at once. Each can be a JPG, PNG or WebP up to 15 MB, and opens large with the next and previous a tap away.

    What is in a patient's file
  6. 6. At the desk

    The session and the products on one bill

    The peel is billed from the price list. A sunscreen or moisturiser the doctor wrote is given from the shelf at the medicine counter, which takes it off the stock count and puts it on the same patient's bill.

    How billing works

Booking visits in a skin and hair clinic

The booking drawer has a switch named “Book treatment sessions (laser, peels)”. Turn it on and Curogrid books 4 sessions, 4 weeks apart, 30 minutes each, at the same time of day. You can change the number and the gap. Each booking then shows its place, such as “Session 2 of 4”.

How appointments work

The patient’s file in a skin and hair clinic

For a skin and hair clinic, the file opens on a card titled “Treatment”. It shows the course of sessions: how many are done, such as “2 of 4 done”, and when the next one is booked. A missed session that was never rebooked is flagged. Below it is what the patient is on now. Allergies and long-term conditions stay at the very top of every file.

What is in a patient’s file

Before you try it

What Curogrid does not do for a skin and hair clinic

These are the things a dermatologist might expect and will not find. Better to read them here than to find out in your first week.

  • It has no side-by-side before and after view

    Photographs are kept in the patient's Files and open one at a time. Curogrid does not place two photographs next to each other, mark up a picture or draw on a body map.

  • Laser and PRP have no starter price

    “Laser session” and “PRP session” are ready to order as procedures, but they are not among the ten starter services. Add them to your price list with your own fee before you bill them.

  • It has no boxes for laser settings

    There is no separate field for fluence, spot size or number of passes. Write the settings in the visit notes.

  • It does not count a package down

    A package can be a service on your price list and billed. The count of sessions comes from the course booking, such as “2 of 4 done”, and is not tied to what was paid.

And the rest of the clinic

Everything else a clinic needs is already there

The skin and hair setup sits on top of the same four screens every Curogrid clinic uses.

Curogrid's Today screen: nine patients waiting with token numbers and wait times, one called, one with the doctor, and the day's expected appointments
The Today screen, on a clinic we set up with invented patients. Your own screens use your services and your speciality's words.
  • Tokens and the waiting line

    A token for every walk-in, and a line the whole clinic can see.

  • Appointments

    A column for each doctor, and a whole course booked at once.

  • Patient files

    Allergies up top, then every visit, prescription, test and bill.

  • Billing

    Today's money by UPI, cash and card, and a list of who owes.

The doctor and the staff also use Curogrid on the phone app for Android and iPhone.

What Curogrid costs a skin and hair clinic

Plus is ₹399 a month and Pro is ₹999 a month, before GST, for the whole clinic. The skin and hair setup is included in both. Every clinic starts with 5 days of Pro, free.

Questions from dermatologists

Yes. Turn on “Book treatment sessions (laser, peels)” while booking. Curogrid books the course together, four sessions four weeks apart and 30 minutes each by default, and labels each one, for example “Session 2 of 4”.
