Background: Teledermoscopy has demonstrated benefits such as decreased costs and enhanced access to dermatology care for skin cancer detection. However, the heterogeneity among teledermoscopy studies hinders the systematic reviews' synopsis of diagnostic outcomes, impeding trust and adoption in general practice and limiting overall health care benefits.
Objective: This study aims to improve understanding and standardization of teledermoscopy diagnostic studies, by identifying and categorizing study characteristics contributing to heterogeneity.

Background: The rising incidence of melanoma and the high number of benign lesions excised due to diagnostic uncertainty highlight the need for effective patient triage. This study assesses the safety and accuracy of teledermoscopic triage on a high-prevalence case set with pre-triaged, challenging, melanoma-suspicious lesions.
Methods: Five dermatologists independently reviewed 250 retrospectively extracted patient cases.

Article Synopsis
- Rapid diagnosis of melanoma is crucial for better patient outcomes, and this study evaluates the effectiveness of teledermoscopy using the FotoFinder device and Moleanalyzer Pro AI compared to in-person clinical exams.
- The study involved 30 melanocytic moles from 29 patients, analyzing the sensitivity and specificity of the three diagnosis methods against histopathological results.
- Results showed that face-to-face exams had the highest sensitivity and specificity, while the teledermoscopy provided better agreement with pathology than the AI method, indicating that AI cannot fully replace dermatologists' expertise.
Revolutionizing Skin Cancer Triage: The Role of Patient-Initiated Teledermoscopy in Remote Diagnosis.

Introduction: Teledermatology, defined as the use of remote imaging technologies to provide dermatologic healthcare services to individuals in a distant setting, has grown considerably in popularity since its widespread implementation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Teledermoscopy employs a smartphone dermatoscope attachment paired with a smartphone camera to visualize colors and microstructures within the epidermis and superficial dermis that cannot be seen with the naked eye ABCD criteria alone.
Methods: Our retrospective observational cohort and case-control study evaluated the utility of loaning a smartphone dermatoscope attachment to patients for remote triage of self-selected lesions of concern for skin cancer.
