A general practitioner takes a photo of a patient's skin lesion. The image, along with the clinical report, is sent to the dermatologist via an official app or other secure channel. The specialist analyzes it after a few days and determines that the patient has severe psoriasis (an immune-mediated inflammatory disease). The dermatologist orders a blood test and gives a referral to the doctor. The patient, in turn, goes to the appointment with the result, and the dermatologist prescribes a treatment. Thanks to technology, the patient can start treatment from the first visit to the specialist, without having to travel just to receive the prescription for the necessary tests.<\/p>\n
Teledermatology, which connects patients, health centers and dermatologists, triages patients to identify which ones need urgent care and which ones don\u2019t even need to be referred to a specialist. This form of consultation is increasingly rooted in public health.<\/p>\n
Rosa Taberner, a dermatologist at the Son Ll\u00e0tzer University Hospital in Palma, Spain, believes that this practice will be implemented in other specialties, but at the same time, she guarantees:<\/p>\n
\u2014 It will not replace an in-person consultation. It is intended to provide an opportunity for patients who need an urgent visit to a specialist.<\/p>\n

\nTeledermatology is designed to quickly treat potential melanomas. If a primary care physician detects that a growing black spot could be cancer, he or she sends a photo to a specialist. Normally, the health center\u2019s management would make the referral to a specialist, but teledermatology speeds up the process even more. Taberner sums it up: \u201cThe system becomes more equitable and less saturated.\u201d<\/p>\n
And also: Born during the pandemic, a new generation of 'coronial' babies demands more attention<\/p>\n
It is intuitive to think that technology is at the service of the most serious cases and it is, but it also helps a patient with highly controlled psoriasis to reduce their four or five annual visits to the dermatologist.<\/p>\n
