“…A definitive diagnosis was reached in 91.8% of the cases in our study. In a study by Oliveira et al, teledermatology services showed a high level of diagnostic agreement and accuracy [32]. However, diagnostic accuracy could not be assessed in our study due to the inability of the patient to visit the center to confirm the diagnosis during COVID-19.…”

Background: Teledermatology has become a popular alternative tool for providing dermatology services during the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. Despite being a rising health care modality, it helped to deliver uninterrupted services. The study aimed to determine the implementation, utilization, and acceptance of teledermatology services during the pandemic. Objectives: The aim was to assess the satisfaction of patients utilizing teledermatology services and to obtain their clinical and epidemiological data. Methods: This was a retrospective, observational, single-center study on patients using teledermatology services. Demographic data was analyzed and a questionnaire survey was conducted through phone calls regarding their experience of the service. Results: The mean age of the patients was 33.48 ? 17.89 years. Out of 122 teleconsultations, 89 patients could be contacted again for feedback, among which 81 (91%) found the service easy to use, 75 (84.3%) were able to express their problems similarly to visits in person, 49 (55.05%) regarded teleconsultation as the same as an in-person visit, 80 (89.9%) were satisfied, and 85 (95.5%) agreed to use the service in the future. Superficial fungal infection was the most common diagnosis (24.6%). Newly registered patients were more satisfied in comparison to follow-up patients (96.36% of new cases vs. 79.41% of follow-up cases, p = 0.01). Conclusion: Teledermatology was well accepted by the patients in the current scenario. Telehealth services have a promising role in the future in fulfilling public health demands.

Purposed Virtual medical instrumentation plays a vital role in a telemedicine system that obtains data from the medical instrument, required by doctors at remote location to diagnose a patient. In recent years, the analysis of skin quality by telemedicine system has become an emerging trend. To allow the skin to complement the beauty products and achieve better improvement results, the purpose of this study is to provide advice on a system that can objectively evaluate the condition of the skin of the face and to match appropriate beauty and cosmetic products. Design/methodology/approach A novel customer-oriented medical system is proposed for the applications of telemedicine in this study, whose aim is to improve information transfer quality and rate to further enhance the communication between medical staffs and patients in the telemedicine. More specifically, facial skin will be recorded with digital images, and skin detection will be performed using image processing technology to facilitate doctors to provide medical treatment for the patients at far end. Findings The roughness, freckles and acne indicators were evaluated after obtaining skin images. These three indicators were used as input to the system, and skin scores were then calculated to evaluate skin conditions to further provide more matching skin care. Originality/value This can improve the health problems that have occurred and can also record the skin condition for each test. Experimental results suggest that it is suitable for the applications of telemedicine.
