Teledermatology may be defined as the application of telemedicine to dermatology. According to published data, teledermatology is more widespread in Europe and North America, probably where resources for health care are greater than in other areas of the world. Indeed, teledermatology requires advanced technology to be efficient, as high image quality is necessary to allow the dermatologist to make correct diagnoses. Thanks to the recent advances in this field, teledermatology is become routinary in daily clinical practice. However, its use has been improved over time, overcoming several challenges. The aim of this narrative review is to retrace the almost 30-year history of teledermatology, to address the new challenges posed by advancing technologies such as artificial intelligence and the implications it may have on healthcare.
远程皮肤病学可定义为远程医疗在皮肤病学中的应用。根据已发表的数据，远程皮肤病学在欧洲和北美更为普遍，这可能是因为这些地区的医疗保健资源比世界其他地区更为丰富。事实上，远程皮肤病学需要先进的技术才能高效运行，因为高质量的图像对于皮肤科医生做出正确诊断是必要的。由于该领域最近的进展，远程皮肤病学在日常临床实践中已变得常规化。然而，随着时间的推移，其应用得到了改进，克服了几个挑战。本叙述性综述的目的是追溯远程皮肤病学近30年的历史，探讨人工智能等先进技术带来的新挑战及其对医疗保健可能产生的影响。
