“…Perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are constructs that are integral to the adoption of technology [23, 29]. Our results were similar to two previous studies that assessed the acceptance of consumer-driven mobile teledermoscopy [9, 25]. The first study assessed the acceptance of conducting mobile teledermoscopy in the home environment for the early detection of melanoma ( n = 228).…”

“…In the second study, a small pilot group of 10 participants found the dermatoscope easy to use [10]. In another study, Marchell et al [25] conducted both face-to-face ( n = 206) and teledermoscopy ( n = 209) performed by a medical practitioner and found that participants preferred face-to-face over teledermoscopy. However, overall satisfaction with teledermatology was still high.…”

“…However, overall satisfaction with teledermatology was still high. Participants provided an overall satisfaction score of 4.74 for teledermatology on a 5-point Likert scale with 5 indicating greatest satisfaction [25]. The main concern that could affect attitudes towards the use of mobile teledermoscopy was the reliability of the telediagnoses.…”

Consumer Acceptance and Expectations of a Mobile Health Application to Photograph Skin Lesions for Early Detection of Melanoma

Background: Mobile teledermoscopy may facilitate skin self-examinations (SSEs) and further improve monitoring and detection of melanoma. Objective: To assess consumer acceptability and expectations of a mobile health app used to: (i) instruct SSE and (ii) conduct consumer-performed mobile teledermoscopy. Methods: People aged 18 years and above were invited to participate in either (i) an online survey or (ii) focus group in Brisbane, Australia. Participants were asked about their SSE practices, mobile teledermoscopy acceptance, and app design and functionality. The online survey responses and focus group discussions were coded by two researchers who conducted thematic analysis. Results: Four focus groups were held with a total of 28 participants; 88 participants completed the online survey. The mean ages of participants in the focus group and online survey were 46 and 38 years, respectively. There were more males in the focus groups (61%, 17/28) compared to the online survey (19%, 17/88). Regular SSEs were conducted by 56 (64%) of the online survey participants. Barriers to SSE were forgetfulness (44%), low self-perceived risk of melanoma (25%) and low confidence in conducting SSEs (25%). The large majority of online survey participants (95%) would consider sending photos of their skin lesions to a medical practitioner via an app. Focus group participants reported that they would accept using mobile teledermoscopy; however, they would prefer to use it to monitor lesions between face-to-face consultations. Conclusions: Overall, participants had positive views on using mobile teledermoscopy to send images of skin lesions to a dermatologist or other medical practitioner.

Teledermatology is a rapidly developing field of dermatological care, giving the opportunity to deliver more efficient healthcare to patients in remote areas. Live interactive (LI) teledermatology uses videoconferencing and, hence, allows for direct communication. A current overview on effectiveness, costs, feasibility and accuracy of LI applications compared to standard care is missing. The present systematic review provides this overview on LI teledermatology. Two databases were searched until April 2019, followed by title, abstract and full‐text screening. Additionally, reference lists of the detected eligible articles were screened for further eligible studies. Studies comparing LI applications with standard care were included. Data on study design, sample size, country, objectives, main findings and characteristics of LI applications were extracted. Results on time effectiveness, costs, accuracy and feasibility of LI applications were synthesized. Additionally, the quality of included studies was assessed. Twenty‐three publications were included in the final analysis: seventeen case–control studies and six randomized controlled trials. Included studies were published between 1997 and 2017. Study quality differed across studies. The studies were carried out in eight different countries. Eleven studies focused on patient consultation, three on patient organization and nine on combined applications of the aforementioned. Nine studies investigated applications facilitating patient–provider interaction. Fourteen studies evaluated applications combining patient–provider and provider–provider interaction, meaning the patient sits next to one provider while using LI applications to interact with another provider. This review reveals that LI applications can be a time effective substitute of or supplement to standard dermatological care. Results demonstrated that LI and standard care are comparable with regard to feasibility and accuracy. No clear tendencies can be reported with regard to costs. However, there is a lack of current comparative studies.

The chapter covers the essential points of history taking and clinical examination critical to the accurate diagnosis of skin disease. It evaluates the simple bedside investigations such as Wood’s light examination, microscopy and imaging options that can supplement clinical skills. Recent digital additions to skin evaluation such as smartphone applications and artificial intelligence are outlined

Patient and Provider Satisfaction with Teledermatology

Abstract: Patients and dermatologists prefer in-person examinations and diverge on preferring store-and-forward and live interactive when video is not compressed. The amount of video compression that can be applied without noticeable image degradation is a question for future research.
