What is the Role of Telemedicine and Artificial Intelligence in Pediatric Dermatology?

Abstract

Telemedicine has revolutionized pediatric dermatology by offering remote access to specialized care and reducing healthcare costs. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) further enhances diagnostic accuracy and efficiency, transforming patient outcomes. This review examines the current literature on telemedicine and AI in pediatric dermatology, highlighting studies on improved access to care, economic benefits, and diagnostic advancements. Telemedicine has significantly improved access for pediatric patients, particularly in underserved regions, with teledermatology consultations increasing access by up to 75% and reducing healthcare costs by up to 30%.
