1. A computer-implemented method for evaluating an anatomical surface feature (“surface feature”), the method comprising:
capturing, at an image capture device, raw data characterizing the surface feature;
sending the raw data from the image capture device over a wired communications link to a personal computing device that is local to the image capture device;
receiving the raw data at a non-volatile storage device remote from the image capture device and the personal computing device, the raw data being received from the personal computing device;
according to instructions executed at a processor of a remote server computer and/or at the personal computing device, determining one or more measurements of the surface feature based on the raw data;
storing, at the non-volatile storage device remote from the image capture device and the personal computing device, the determined one or more measurements of the surface feature; and
displaying the determined one or more measurements on a web-based interface.
