PORTSMOUTH, N.H.

A new company is calling the Granite State home, bringing a promise for dozens of jobs on the Seacoast.

It doesn't have a permanent home yet, but Digital Skin Imaging, a high-tech medical device company, is moving to Portsmouth.

So it's going to be really, really exciting in the next few years where this is going to go, said DSI chief executive officer Karleen Seybold.

DSI is a startup company, relocating from Arizona to New Hampshire, with national and international aspirations.

Through new technology called DermSpectra, DSI allows doctors to look at skin in an innovative way through full body scans.

The technology will help identify skin changes, including early detection of cancer and diseases.

It's really at the intersection of telemedicine, personal health care, preventative medicine, Seybold said. We're looking at trying to track your skin over time.

Company leaders announced the move at Portsmouth-based Medtronic, one of their partners.

Gov. Chris Sununu met with DSI earlier this year as part of his 100 Businesses in 100 Days initiative, an effort to attract companies to New Hampshire.

It's not a program that stops after 100 days, Sununu said. We're constantly talking to businesses to bring them in here. This is one of them.

DSI plans to hire at least 100 people and over the next five years, and intends to be a company worth more than $100 million.

We're going to be hiring engineering, software, sales and marketing, operations, we're going to be doing some manufacturing, Seybold said.

New Hampshire has a shortage of skilled workers, and Sununu said his office and the business community need to talk to new graduates outside the state to show them quality of life in the state and opportunities with companies like DSI.
