Teledermatology is the use of telecommunication technologies to exchange medical information for diagnosis, consultation, treatment and teaching in dermatology. While its use has been evaluated in a wide range of dermatological diagnoses, only few studies exist on its validity, diagnostic precision, feasibility, and cost-effectiveness in occupational dermatology. However, these studies show a considerable potential for diagnosis, prevention, treatment support and follow-up of patients with occupational skin diseases. Asynchronous (store and forward; SAF) or synchronous dermatology teleconsults could assist occupational medicine specialists not only in occupational preventive care, but also in the context of skin cancer screening in outdoor workers. Thus, teledermatology might contribute to earlier prevention and notification of occupational skin diseases. Modern smartphone apps with artificial intelligence technologies may also facilitate self-monitoring in employees working in high-risk jobs.
远程皮肤病学是利用远程通信技术在皮肤病学领域进行诊断、咨询、治疗和教学的一种手段。尽管已经在广泛的皮肤病诊断中评估了其使用，但在职业皮肤病学中，关于其有效性、诊断精度、可行性和成本效益的研究甚少。然而，这些研究显示了远程皮肤病学在诊断、预防、治疗支持和职业性皮肤病患者随访方面具有相当大的潜力。异步（存储和转发；SAF）或同步皮肤病远程会诊不仅可以帮助职业医学专家进行职业预防保健，还可以用于户外工作者的皮肤癌筛查。因此，远程皮肤病学可能有助于更早地预防和通知职业性皮肤病。具有人工智能技术的现代智能手机应用程序也可能有助于高风险工作环境中的员工进行自我监测。
