Mobile teledermoscopy—there’s an app for that!

摘要

Background:The introduction of the smartphone with high-quality, built-in digital cameras and easy-to-install software may make it more convenient to perform teledermatology. In this study we looked at the feasibility of using a smartphone (iPhone 4^®) with an installed application especially developed for teledermatology (iDoc24^®) and a dermoscope (FotoFinder Handyscope^®) that is customized to attach to the smartphone to be able to carry out mobile teledermoscopy.
