Mobile teledermatology in the developing world: Implications of a feasibility study on 30 Egyptian patients with common skin diseases

Application of mobile teledermatology for skin cancer screening

“…[16][17][18][19][20][21] Preliminary studies showed that the use of mobile cellular telephones to capture digital images for clinical diagnosis appeared to be feasible and yielded reasonable diagnostic accuracy. [22][23][24] However, to our knowledge, the use of mobile cellular technology for skin cancer screening has not been reported in North America.…”

Improved Skin Lesion Diagnostics for General Practice by Computer-Aided Diagnostics

“…Another recent study [9] focused on the importance of MT in the developing world, confirming the aided value of using a system that amplifies the access to dermatologic expertise in underserved regions.…”

Performance Analysis of Image Restoration Techniques for Dermoscopy Images

“…Images in different resolutions are obtained via these phones. Previously, it was shown that dermatological images obtained using mobile devices, branded Samsung [6] and iPhone [7] having 5 megapixels of resolution, could be used in the diagnosis of the diseases. But as the mobile devices used in these studies are not compatible with the current technology, within the context of the study, an up-todate dataset is created.…”

“…By means of this system, it was provided that people who are not experts could also get dermatological images and could transfer these images to the remote diagnosis systems. In 2011, a study, that shows how accurate results will be given by the usage of the dermoscopy systems developed for dermatologists in developing countries like Africa.It was shown that despite the problems of Internet connection usage of computers in the developing countries, success rates up to seventy percent can be obtained [6]. In the forthcoming years, whether the dermatological images got by smart phones are enough or not for the diagnosis was investigated by Asaid et.…”
