With patients, you can store data in a centralized location and provide in-office or teleconsultation services for your practice. There are a few ways to add a patient. To get started, follow the steps below:

1. Select the Patients List option in the top menu bar.
   
2. There are two ways to add a patient: Manual Entry and Automatic Image Extraction
    
   1. Click '+Add Patient' to manually enter the patient's details.
      
      
      

1. 1. 1. Create the new patient profile with First & Last Name or Health ID. Note that in each scenario, there are certain fields required to be filled out:
         
      2. If you enter an email address of an existing patient, you will invite them to share and access their images with you via email invitation.
         
      3. If the patient already exists on DermEngine, request access to their current profile. 
         
         Alternatively, you can create a new profile with a different email address.
         
         
      4. Fill out additional information by clicking 'Additional Info' in the bottom left.
         
      5. You can fill out their home address, phone number, skin cancer history, and more. When complete, click Create Patient.
         
         Congratulations! You've successfully created a patient.
         
         
   2. The second way is image data extraction. Learn how in the next article.
