TL;DR. evooia is a Swiss smartphone application implementing SAPHIR™ for reproducible 2D imaging on iPhone and iPad, with no hardware. QuantifiCare's LifeViz line is a respected 3D imaging platform widely used in clinical research and dermatology trials, with hardware purchase plus ongoing software and service fees. Pick evooia for everyday reproducible documentation across staff, sites, and remote follow-ups. Pick QuantifiCare LifeViz for clinical trials and 3D skin analysis as a clinical deliverable.

evooia and QuantifiCare LifeViz operate in different categories. evooia is a smartphone-based reproducibility tool. LifeViz is a 3D research instrument with strong clinical-trial use. The decision between them is mostly about whether your clinical work requires research-grade 3D or practice-grade reproducibility.

What is evooia?

evooia is an iPhone and iPad application from a Swiss-based company in the ETH ecosystem, implementing SAPHIR™ (Swiss Aesthetic Protocol for High-fidelity Imaging Reproducibility). It uses real-time algorithmic alignment to keep lighting, distance, angle, and framing consistent on every capture, on both front and back cameras. The image, consent, and clinical note are stored together and synced to a web dashboard. A patient-side app supports guided remote capture between visits. Privacy is built for GDPR and Swiss FADP compliance, and designed to support HIPAA-compliant deployments.

What is QuantifiCare LifeViz?

QuantifiCare is a French-headquartered medical imaging company. Its LifeViz product family includes the Mini Pro and Infinity Pro 3D facial imaging systems and LifeViz Body for 3D body imaging. The hardware is a capital purchase paired with the LifeViz Neo cloud software, which adds AI-powered facial recognition, automatic image sorting, and centralised storage. QuantifiCare is widely used in clinical trials and validated dermatology research, and has won Best Aesthetic Device multiple times at AMWC. Like other hardware-based imaging systems, deployed cost includes upfront equipment purchase plus ongoing software, cloud, and service fees. EU-hosted from France. Note: as of January 2026, QuantifiCare spun off its aesthetic LifeViz portfolio into an independent company, Quartier Latin, which now handles LifeViz sales, support, and development, while QuantifiCare itself refocused on clinical-trial imaging.

How are evooia and QuantifiCare LifeViz different?

Research-grade vs reproducibility-first

LifeViz is built for clinical-trial reproducibility, with the dual-beam pointer system and 3D stitching engineered to satisfy peer review and regulatory scrutiny. evooia is built for daily clinical reproducibility through SAPHIR™. Both deliver comparable imaging. The difference is the deployment model.

3D vs 2D

LifeViz produces 3D models with skin analysis (wrinkles, pores, oiliness, evenness, pigmentation, vascularisation) and volume measurement. evooia produces high-resolution, reproducible 2D photographs under SAPHIR™. For quantified skin-analysis metrics and volume change, LifeViz is built for that work. For verified, directly comparable before-and-after pairs, reproducible 2D is exactly the tool, and evooia delivers it with no hardware to deploy.

Hardware vs no hardware

LifeViz is a capital purchase plus ongoing fees, with a tripod or handheld form factor that requires a dedicated capture environment. evooia is software-only on iPhone or iPad already in the clinic, with no fixed environment requirement.

Workflow scope

LifeViz focuses on capture, 3D analysis, and patient-facing visualisation. Consent and clinical notes live elsewhere in the practice infrastructure. evooia integrates consent and clinical notes into the image record.

Patient self-capture

evooia's patient-side app supports guided remote capture using the front camera. LifeViz is clinic-bound.

When is QuantifiCare LifeViz the better choice?

Practices doing clinical trials, dermatology research, or any work where validated 3D skin analysis is a deliverable to patients or sponsors. Practices marketing on the strength of advanced skin diagnostics where the 3D consultation experience is itself a conversion driver. Multi-site clinics where LifeViz Neo's centralised cloud already supports the imaging workflow.

When is evooia the right choice?

Aesthetic and dermatology practices where the bottleneck is reproducible documentation, not 3D analysis. Clinics where the imaging workflow needs to scale across staff and sites without hardware deployment per location. Clinics needing patient self-capture between visits. Practices that prefer subscription pricing over capital plus ongoing-fee models.

Frequently asked questions

Can I move existing photos from another tool into evooia?

Yes. evooia supports importing existing before-and-after images from the device or from another tool, and applies SAPHIR™ alignment in post-processing where the source images allow. Switching from a legacy or hardware-based system is straightforward, your historical images come across and new captures are reproducible from the first session.

Is QuantifiCare LifeViz worth the price for a non-research clinic?

Probably only if 3D consultation is itself a conversion driver in your patient mix or if you do longitudinal skin-quality studies. For pure reproducible documentation, evooia delivers comparable 2D output with no hardware investment, through the SAPHIR™ framework.

Is there a smartphone alternative to QuantifiCare LifeViz?

For 3D skin analysis, smartphones do not produce equivalent stereophotogrammetric output. For reproducible 2D before-and-after capture, evooia delivers smartphone-native reproducibility through SAPHIR™ on iPhone and iPad.

Does QuantifiCare LifeViz have ongoing fees?

Yes. The deployed cost typically combines upfront hardware purchase with ongoing software, cloud, and service fees. Specific structure varies by configuration.

Can I use both LifeViz and evooia in the same clinic?

Yes, and many advanced practices do. LifeViz handles 3D research and consultation. evooia handles everyday reproducible documentation and remote patient capture.
