# Patient Presentation

> Using Slider view, Presentation Mode, and AirPlay to show before & after comparisons in the consultation room.

## Overview

Symetri is built for two distinct workflows: creating clinical documentation and presenting results to patients in real time. This guide covers the presentation features — Slider View, Presentation Mode, and AirPlay mirroring.

***

## Comparison Modes

Before presenting, switch to the mode that works best for the context.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Side by Side" icon="table-columns">
    Both images shown simultaneously. Default view. Works on any screen size.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Top / Bottom" icon="table-rows">
    Before on top, after below. Best for treatments where vertical change is most visible.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Slider" icon="left-right">
    A draggable divider reveals before or after. Most engaging for in-room presentations.

## Slider View In-Room Tips

The slider is the most powerful tool for in-room patient conversations.

### Hand the Phone to the Patient

Patients instinctively understand the swipe gesture. Letting them control the slider creates a moment of personal discovery — far more emotionally resonant than you showing them.

### Walk Through the Changes

Start the slider all the way to the left (full before). Slowly drag right while talking through each visible change. This paces the conversation and creates a narrative.

### Double-Tap to Zoom

In Slider view, double-tap anywhere on the image to zoom in 2×. Tap and drag to move around while zoomed — useful for showing fine details like lip border, eye area, or skin texture changes.

**To zoom back out:** Double-tap again, or pinch to zoom out.

## Presentation Mode (Full-Screen / AirPlay)

Presentation Mode is designed for showing comparisons on an external display — an Apple TV, connected iPad, or any AirPlay-compatible screen in your consultation room.

### What It Does

* Goes completely full-screen on your iPhone — status bar and navigation disappear
* Simultaneously mirrors to any connected AirPlay display in full-screen black
* The external display shows only the clean before/after comparison — no UI, no controls
* **You control the slider from your phone** while the patient sees the comparison on screen

### How to Enter Presentation Mode

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the case in the editor" />

  <Step title="Switch to Slider view" />

  <Step title="Tap the TV icon in the top right corner" />

  <Step title="If AirPlay is already connected, the presentation appears on the external display immediately" />
</Steps>

### How to Exit

Tap anywhere on the screen — the **End** button fades in. Tap it to exit Presentation Mode.

## Setting Up AirPlay

### Apple TV (Recommended)

The most reliable setup. An Apple TV connected to a wall-mounted screen allows professional wireless mirroring with no cables.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect Apple TV to your screen via HDMI" />

  <Step title="Connect Apple TV to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone" />

  <Step title="On your iPhone, swipe down from the top right to open Control Center" />

  <Step title="Tap Screen Mirroring and select your Apple TV" />

  <Step title="Open Symetri and enter Presentation Mode" />
</Steps>

<Tip>Name your Apple TV "Consultation Room TV" in Apple TV Settings → General → Name. This makes it easy to select quickly during an appointment.</Tip>

### Smart TV with Built-in AirPlay

Many modern smart TVs (LG, Samsung, Sony) support AirPlay 2 natively. Check your TV's input list for "Apple AirPlay" and enable it, then follow the same Screen Mirroring steps.

### iPad on a Stand

For practices without a wall-mounted screen, an iPad on an arm or stand works well.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Both iPhone and iPad must be on the same Wi-Fi and signed into the same Apple ID" />

  <Step title="On iPad: Settings → General → AirPlay & Handoff → AirPlay Receiver → On" />

  <Step title="Mirror your iPhone to the iPad via Control Center → Screen Mirroring" />

  <Step title="Open Symetri and enter Presentation Mode — the iPad shows the clean comparison" />
</Steps>

<Note>Use a 10–13" iPad. Smaller iPads don't add much over showing the iPhone directly. Larger iPads make the comparison significantly more visible.</Note>

### Wired (HDMI Adapter)

For maximum reliability with no Wi-Fi dependency:

* **iPhone 15 and later:** USB-C to HDMI adapter
* **iPhone 14 and earlier:** Lightning to Digital AV Adapter

Connect the adapter to your iPhone, HDMI cable to your screen. Mirrors at full frame rate with no latency.

## Consultation Room Layout

| Factor        | Recommendation                                                         |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Screen height | Center at approximately seated eye level                               |
| Distance      | 1.5–2.5 meters from patient                                            |
| Room lighting | Dim overhead slightly — images have more impact in lower ambient light |
| Screen size   | 43"+ for groups; 32"+ for single patient                               |

## Showing Comparable Cases (Pre-Treatment)

When a prospective patient hasn't had treatment yet, show them comparable cases from your library to illustrate what's achievable.

### Privacy Protocol

Only show cases where the patient consented to being shown to other patients. Confirm eye blur is enabled before opening the case. Use your naming convention to quickly identify consented vs. records-only cases.

### Workflow

1. From the Cases list, open a case that represents a similar treatment and baseline.
2. Enter Slider view or Presentation Mode.
3. Walk through the comparison, explaining the treatment, timeline, and what factors influenced the result.

***

## Group Consultations & Events

For medspa events or group consultations:

* Use a 55"+ TV with Apple TV for groups of 5–10.
* Prepare 3–5 cases representing different treatments and baselines in advance — alignment confirmed, eye blur applied.
* Name cases with numbers for easy sequencing: `01 - Lips`, `02 - Forehead`
* Navigate between cases on your iPhone without the audience seeing the case list.

### Event Preparation Checklist

<Steps>
  <Step title="All cases to be shown: alignment confirmed" />

  <Step title="Eye blur enabled on all non-fully-consented cases" />

  <Step title="Cases named with numbers for sequencing" />

  <Step title="Apple TV connected and named before guests arrive" />

  <Step title="Symetri opened to the first case before starting" />

  <Step title="Screen brightness adjusted for room lighting" />
