Medical application

I would like to use VR technology for my established tele-dermatology company, dermio.
How do I go about doing this?

    I'm also a physician and interested in medical applications of VR. Right now the resolution and visual fidelity is far too low to be superior to a dedicated camera for most telehealth applications. For Derm I imagine you have a very fancy macro capable camera which is far superior to what you'd be able to do with a VR HMD. There may be an application in Derm education in which you see a virtual patient and can roughly examine their skin / rash and then have an option for a highly magnified image to pop up in VR, but I think just looking at pictures would be equally as effective.
