Hello all, We have some suggestion to add patient’s profile picture in the demographics page like the following method. When creating new patient, there will be a field to open up the webcam of the system to capture the patient’s photograph and save them inside the OpenEMR application . We can display the captured image in main demographics page of the patient or patient portal. **This feature should be enable/disable using Globals controls.** Thanks, [ViSolve](http://visolve.com/hc/) ---

Sounds good, Check out this recent feature added by @MatthewVita and Jeffrey and would build from there: [Patient Context Image Enhancement · Issue #593 · openemr/openemr · GitHub](https://github.com/openemr/openemr/issues/593) -brady ---

Moreover, check out `master`, which contains the basic feature. I would love to see a webcam popup though! ---

This feature already exists, if a patient picture exists it gets displayed in the right sidebar of the patient summary. There’s a PR coming in to add a photo to the patient context bar. Is this similar to what you’re trying to do, or am I misunderstanding? ---

Robert, Yes, we could see the default patient icon at the right sidebar in the patient summary. We tried to upload a picture for the patient from documents-\> patient photograph but it is not reflecting in the patient summary. What is the exact worflow to upload the patient pic ? Thanks, [ViSolve](http://www.visolve.com/hc) ---
