Tele-assessment of Psoriasis Area and Severity Index: A study of the accuracy of digital image capture

摘要

Background: The implementation of remote Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) determinations would greatly enhance the delivery of specialist dermatological care to patients with severe psoriasis unable to attend face-to-face dermatological consultations. Here we investigate the feasibility of the remote determination of PASI scores by comparing the results of face-to-face with digital image assessment.
