Teledermatológia: a digitalizáció új korszaka a bőrgyógyászati betegellátásban

Abstract

There is a growing scope of different telemedicine modalities in patient care, especially with the development of various communication and digital imaging devices. In dermatology, there has been an unprecedented increase in the number of healthcare facilities providing teledermatology consultations after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Experiences have shown that the application of teledermatology systems can increase access to dermatology care for the population, reduce waiting time for cases requiring immediate face-to-face consultation and minimize costs for patients and, in the longer term, for healthcare systems as well.
