API
A Wi-Fi streaming diagnostic instrument, in two configurations: skin, or hair and scalp.
Applications
API measures and reports. It does not deliver a treatment; DNA Nexus's treatment systems for skin and hair sit on their own solution and technology pages.
Skin, hair and scalp diagnostics for consultation.- API 100 configuration: skin analysis for moisture and elasticity, sebum in the U-zone and T-zone, pores, melanin, wrinkles and sensitivity. Acne, an indication Aram Huvis publishes for this configuration.
- API 202 configuration: hair and scalp analysis for hair loss status, scalp status, hair density and thickness, scalp keratin and sensitivity.
How it works
API streams live video from its camera over Wi-Fi in MJPEG format, straight to the paired device running the Solutionist Plus app. From that connection the clinician starts the analysis, switches between modes, captures images and reviews the results, aided by control buttons built into the device itself for a hands-free examination. The app runs on Android, iOS, Windows and macOS, on tablet, smartphone or PC.

Why this system
Streams over Wi-Fi to the device already in the room
Android, iOS, Windows or macOS, so a clinic is not tied to one platform at the consultation desk.
Two configurations, skin or hair and scalp
API 100 covers skin; API 202 covers hair and scalp. The catalogue lists no combined API, where APM Pro and ASM each have a 300.
Hands-free, from launch to result
The clinician starts the analysis, switches modes, captures images and reviews the results over Wi-Fi, with the device's own control buttons for hands-free operation.
A device built around the professional's workflow
Aram Huvis presents API under the heading "Smart, Simple, and Ergonomic Design for Professionals" on its product page, alongside the streaming and control capabilities above.
What to know
Practice value
- API 100: Skin
- API 202: Hair and scalp
Across the Aram Huvis range, measured parameters include moisture, elasticity, sebum, pores, melanin, wrinkles, hair density, thickness and keratin, plus AI scalp-type classification and BASP hair-loss grading, with parameters assigned per model as DNA Nexus directs.
What does API measure?
It depends on the configuration: API 100 covers skin only, API 202 covers hair and scalp.
Is there an API configuration for skin, hair and scalp together?
API is catalogued in two configurations, API 100 for skin and API 202 for hair and scalp. Neither of the two puts all three areas in one unit; on the Aram Huvis range, APM Pro 300 and ASM 300 do.
How does API connect?
It streams over Wi-Fi, to Android, iOS, Windows or macOS devices.
Is API a medical device?
No, Aram Huvis instruments are non-medical, HS code 9031.49.9000.
DNA Nexus support
DNA Nexus will handle installation and set up API on site.
