TLDR Technology, like mobile apps and AI, is improving skin condition diagnosis and treatment.

The document discussed the increasing role of technology in dermatology, highlighting the use of mobile phones and artificial intelligence (AI) in medical applications. Mobile devices facilitated the easy import and transmission of information, such as photographs and patient data, for analysis, although handling this sensitive data required careful attention. The emergence of new mobile applications benefited both laypeople and doctors in diagnosing and treating skin conditions. AI was used not only for analyzing image data but also in prevention, patient management, and cosmetology. The publication provided an overview of dermatological photography, digital tools, applications, and the application of AI in dermatology.
