Dermatology - Teledermatology
Teledermatology can reduce wait

treat minor conditions online while
serious conditions requiring
immediate care are given priority for
appointments.

Telemedicine - Teledermatology
The dermatologists Perednia and
Brown were the first to coin the term
teledermatology in 1995. In a
scientific publication, they described
the value of a teledermatologic
service in a rural area underserved by
dermatologists.Perednia, Brown 1995

Teledermatology - Modes of data transmission
1
The SAF method is most commonly used
in teledermatology: It involves sending
(forwarding) digital images associated
with (anonymous) medical information to
the data storage unit of a consulted
specialist. It can be as easy as sending an
email with a digital image of a lesion to
seek advice for a skin condition.
Advantages of this method are that it
does not demand the presence of both
parties at the same time and does not
usually require expensive equipment.

Teledermatology - Modes of data transmission
In real-time/ live interactive
teledermatology applications, provider
and individuals usually interact via live
videoconferencing. It may also involve
remote surgery and the use of
telerobotic microscopes in
dermatopathology. This mode generally
requires more sophisticated and costly
technology than used in the SAF mode.
Both participants must be available at
the same time.

Teledermatology - Teledermoscopy
Since dermoscopy is based on
examination of a two-dimensional image it
is very well suited for digital imaging and
teledermatology.

Teledermatology - Mobile Teledermatology

In order to facilitate access to medical
advice and enable individuals to play
a more active role in managing their
own health status, mobile
teledermatology seems to be
especially suited for patient filtering
or triage

Teledermatology - Suitability of cases for Teledermatology
Unlike in western studies where
pigmented lesions suspicious of
melanomas are one of the most referred
cases for teledermatology (with or without
teledermatoscopy), Asian studies have
fewer cases referred based on the
suspicion of melanoma.Kaliyadan et al
