The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted clinical research in dermatology and practices around the country transitioned to teledermatology amid physical distancing requirements. Despite their growing use in teledermatology and clinical care, dermatology applications have not been studied extensively in the research space. The use of mobile applications has the potential to improve the experience of study subjects and physicians and increase the pool of individuals willing to participate in research beyond the pandemic. We discuss the various pros and cons of mobile apps, as well as the necessary components they require to successfully conduct research.
新冠疫情对皮肤科临床研究产生了重大影响，全国各地的医疗机构因物理距离要求而转向远程皮肤病学。尽管皮肤科应用在远程皮肤病学和临床护理中的使用日益增加，但在研究领域尚未得到广泛研究。移动应用的使用有可能改善研究对象和医生的体验，并增加愿意在疫情之外参与研究的人群数量。我们讨论了移动应用的各种优缺点，以及它们成功开展研究所需要的必要组件。
