Teledermatology is a branch of dermatology that uses telecommunications and the digital exchange of health data to diagnose, monitor, and treat skin disorders like eczema, melanoma, and psoriasis, among others. Teledermatology has a variety of applications, including healthcare management and medical education. Direct consultation, telediagnosis, and telehomecare are examples of healthcare management. In direct consultation, the patient makes a telephone call to a dermatologist to schedule a consultation, diagnosis, and therapy. In such appointments, mobile applications play a significant role.
Telediagnosis employs a triage tool that employs artificial intelligence (AI) software to forecast patient outcomes based on predictive data in the AI system database. Telehomecare, often known as home telehealth, entails remote skin examinations in the privacy of one's own home. Patients with skin disorders such as psoriasis, chronic ulcers, and others frequently use telehomecare for follow-up treatment.
