A dermatologist and Mohs surgeon building open-source, privacy-first clinical tools that bridge the gap between clinical expertise and software development.

Dr. Yehonatan (Jonathan) Kaplan

Dermatologist · Mohs Surgeon · ACMS Fellow

Dr. Kaplan is a board-certified dermatologist specializing in dermatologic surgery and Mohs micrographic surgery. He completed his medical degree at Tel Aviv University and his dermatology residency at Tel Aviv Medical Center (Ichilov).

His surgical training includes a Mohs surgery and dermatologic oncology fellowship at Skin & Cancer Associates, Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, where he performed over 1,000 Mohs procedures, followed by a cosmetic dermatologic surgery fellowship in Fort Lauderdale.

Dr. Kaplan leads the DermUnbound research group, an initiative exploring how physicians can leverage software development to build better clinical tools without relying on third-party vendors or compromising patient privacy.

DermUnbound: The Clinician-Coder

A research initiative exploring a new paradigm in dermatology: the physician as technology creator. All projects are open-source, privacy-first, and built for real-world clinical use.

A physician who understands his digital tools can provide patients better, faster, and more personalized care.
- Dr. Yehonatan Kaplan, DermUnbound
All tools run locally or client-side. Patient data never leaves the physician's environment
Open-source under permissive licenses: inspect, modify, and adapt for your practice
Built by a clinician-developer, showing that physicians can create production-grade software for their own practice

Research tools built for clinical practice

Each project addresses a real gap in the dermatology workflow, from surgical decision support to documentation and education.
