Background: Telemedicine applications are perceived as having great potential to address regional health service deficits. However, it is unclear to what extent telemedicine can actually contribute to ensuring care in medically underserved regions. The aim of this study is to prospectively identify underserved regions and to investigate the potential of telemedicine applications using teledermatology as an example.

Background And Objectives: Adoption and acceptance of digital health services (DHS) in the German population and in persons with skin diseases is unclear. Both factors were analyzed in this survey.

Methods: A standardized survey with items on digital competences and attitudes, use and acceptance of DHS was applied to a representative sample of the German adult population.

We introduce a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm, the localized active space unitary selective coupled cluster singles and doubles (LAS-USCCSD) method. Derived from the localized active space unitary coupled cluster (LAS-UCCSD) method, LAS-USCCSD first performs a classical LASSCF calculation, then selectively identifies the most important parameters (cluster amplitudes used to build the multireference UCC ansatz) for restoring interfragment interaction energy using this reduced set of parameters with the variational quantum eigensolver method. We benchmark LAS-USCCSD against LAS-UCCSD by calculating the total energies of (H), (H), and -butadiene, and the magnetic coupling constant for a bimetallic compound [Cr(OH)(NH)].

Article Synopsis
  • Digital health interventions (DHIs) for skin diseases show potential but struggle with low uptake in Germany, highlighting the need for a thorough understanding of barriers and facilitators for patients and healthcare providers.
  • A study conducted focus groups with patients, dermatologists, and nurses to compare their attitudes, barriers, and facilitators regarding DHIs, revealing both positive expectations and significant concerns about digital competence and data privacy.
  • For successful integration of DHIs in dermatology, apps must be user-friendly, suited to different skill levels, and demonstrate clear value to all stakeholders involved in patient care.*
