Unlabelled: The hospital of Versailles no longer has a dermatologist; consequently the pediatrics department suggested assess to the system put in place in 2015 based on the telemedicine software platform WebDCR developed throughout the hospital. The acceptability of this was based on its implementation as well as speed and ease of use.
Methods: In 2015, 47 reviews were submitted.
Results: No patient refusal was noted. The answer was obtained in 100 % of cases on the day the requests were made, during the week. A diagnosis was made in 36 % of cases and one or more hypotheses were formulated in the 64 % of the remaining cases. The review resulted in a further consultation in 28 % of cases, and in one case to transfer to the dermatology department. The quality of the data collected was considered good or excellent in 96 % of cases.
Discussion: This first teledermatology experiment seems to show its utility in terms of the services provided. Given the successful deployment of the system, it was extended to the pediatric emergency department. The response time was reduced to 1h.
Conclusion: This first teledermatology experiment seems to show its real value in terms of services rendered. However, it is necessary to have more experience to confirm the contribution of this tool, and to reassess the sustainability and economic relevance of the device.

Deep learning-aided decision support for diagnosis of skin disease across skin tones.
Nat Med
February 2024
MIT Media Lab, Cambridge, MA, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Advances in deep learning systems show promise for improving clinical decision-making in medical diagnoses, but the effectiveness of combining physician expertise with machine learning is still uncertain, particularly when dealing with underrepresented populations.
- A large-scale study involving nearly 850 physicians evaluated their diagnostic accuracy using a teledermatology simulation with 364 skin disease images, revealing that specialist dermatologists had an accuracy of 38% while primary-care physicians had only 19%.
- Although the integration of fair deep learning assistance improved overall diagnostic accuracy by over 33%, it highlighted and worsened the existing diagnostic disparities between skin tones, showing that enhancing accuracy doesn't eliminate bias in the system.
Acceptance of Medical Artificial Intelligence in Skin Cancer Screening: Choice-Based Conjoint Survey.
JMIR Form Res

School of Business, University of Applied Sciences and Arts Bielefeld, Bielefeld, Germany.
Background: There is great interest in using artificial intelligence (AI) to screen for skin cancer. This is fueled by a rising incidence of skin cancer and an increasing scarcity of trained dermatologists. AI systems capable of identifying melanoma could save lives, enable immediate access to screenings, and reduce unnecessary care and health care costs.

J Med Internet Res
March 2023
Department of Dermatology, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China.
Background: Psoriasis is one of the most frequent inflammatory skin conditions and could be treated via tele-dermatology, provided that the current lack of reliable tools for objective severity assessments is overcome. Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) has a prominent level of subjectivity and is rarely used in real practice, although it is the most widely accepted metric for measuring psoriasis severity currently.
Objective: This study aimed to develop an image-artificial intelligence (AI)-based validated system for severity assessment with the explicit intention of facilitating long-term management of patients with psoriasis.
Integrating Domain Knowledge into Deep Learning for Skin Lesion Risk Prioritization to Assist Teledermatology Referral.
Diagnostics (Basel)
December 2021
Fraunhofer Portugal AICOS, Rua Alfredo Allen, 4200-135 Porto, Portugal.
Teledermatology has developed rapidly in recent years and is nowadays an essential tool for early diagnosis. In this work, we aim to improve existing Teledermatology processes for skin lesion diagnosis by developing a deep learning approach for risk prioritization with a dataset of retrospective data from referral requests of the Portuguese National Health System. Given the high complexity of this task, we propose a new prioritization pipeline guided and inspired by domain knowledge.
