Quick answers to common questions

Getting Started

How do I set up my SmartCemic QESA Pro?

Setting up your device is easy and takes about 5-10 minutes:

  • Download the SmartCemic app from the App Store or Google Play
  • Create your account or sign in with existing credentials

What is skin tone calibration and why is it important?

Skin tone calibration uses the Monk Skin Tone Scale (10-point scale) to optimize readings for your individual skin type. This ensures accurate biomarker measurements regardless of melanin levels.

During calibration, the device adjusts its optical algorithms to account for how light interacts with your specific skin tone, providing equitable accuracy for all users across diverse populations.
