What's New In Digital Health

In dermatology, the dermatologist is the center of the practice. It is their extensive knowledge and skill set that allows the patient to receive the care they need. So why is 48% of their time dedicated to paperwork? Dermoscopy workflows can be distributed among practice staff for optimized care.

Some nations’ implementation strategies have proven to be drivers in overcoming technical and regulatory obstacles when applying teledermatology in their health system. The U.S. and other nations should attempt to imitate and build upon these methods to facilitate further global adoption.

Teledermatology has become an essential service for many practices. Medical professionals, particularly dermatologists, have been combining their services with telecommunication for nearly a quarter of a century.

Dermoscopy: known for its ability to increase the diagnostic accuracy of skin cancer, comes in many forms. Recently is the introduction of mobile dermoscopy for in-home imaging. What can medical experts do to convince patients that this is the next step in receiving accessible skin care services?
