Question

  1. What is the diagnostic accuracy of asynchronous teledermatology consultations using store-and-forward technology for the assessment of patients with suspected dermatological conditions?
  2. What is the clinical utility of asynchronous teledermatology consultations using store-and-forward technology for the assessment of patients with suspected dermatological conditions?
  3. What is the cost-effectiveness of asynchronous teledermatology consultations using store-and-forward technology for patients with dermatological conditions?

Key Message

One health technology assessment and thirteen non-randomized studies were identified regarding the diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of asynchronous teledermatology consultations using store-and-forward technology for the assessment of patients with suspected dermatological conditions. One systematic review of economic evaluations and one economic evaluation were identified regarding the cost-effectiveness of asynchronous teledermatology consultations using store-and-forward technology for patients with dermatological conditions.
