As the use of mobile devices surpasses that of personal computers, medical applications increasingly provide easy access to a diverse range of health care resources.
To analyze changes in the number of dermatologic mobile applications since 2012.
We examined five mobile platforms (Apple, Android, Windows, Nokia, and Blackberry) for dermatology-related diagnoses applications. The apps were categorized by purpose, cost, and target audience.
A total of 365 dermatologic mobile applications were analyzed with 225 new mobile applications found since 2012. Since the last query, there was a decrease in market share of reference materials (26.6% in 2012 to 15.9% in 2014) and self-surveillance/diagnosis applications (17.9% in 2012 to 12.9% in 2014) while teledermatology apps increased from 3.5% of total apps in 2012 to 9% in 2014.
Dermatology apps continue to proliferate with minimal regulation. As technology continues to advance and physicians have greater access to mobile- health information, novel advancements in diagnosis may lead to more time-and-location-flexible patient care.
随着移动设备的使用超过个人电脑，医学应用程序越来越便于人们获取各种各样的医疗保健资源。
分析自2012年以来皮肤科移动应用程序数量的变化。
我们在五个移动平台（苹果、安卓、Windows、诺基亚和黑莓）上查找与皮肤科诊断相关的应用程序。这些应用程序按用途、成本和目标受众进行分类。
共分析了365个皮肤科移动应用程序，自2012年以来发现了225个新的移动应用程序。自上次查询以来，参考资料的市场份额有所下降（从2012年的26.6%降至2014年的15.9%），自我监测/诊断应用程序的市场份额也有所下降（从2012年的17.9%降至2014年的12.9%），而远程皮肤病学应用程序从2012年占应用程序总数的3.5%增至2014年的9%。
皮肤科应用程序在监管极少的情况下持续激增。随着技术不断进步，医生能更多地获取移动健康信息，诊断方面的新进展可能会带来更具时间和地点灵活性的患者护理。
