- Telehealth is becoming more popular for improving patient access to care, but research on its use across different age groups in dermatology is lacking.
- A study using data from 150 million patients revealed that elderly patients (65+) had significantly lower rates of teledermatology use compared to young adults (18-44) and midlife adults (45-64).
- The findings suggest that there are greater barriers to telehealth use for elderly patients, highlighting the need to address these issues to enhance teledermatology services for all age groups.
