Concordance and Accuracy of Teledermatology Using Mobile Phones in the Outpatient Clinic of Jose R Reyes Memorial Medical Center: Cross-sectional Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dermatologists rely on visual findings; thus, teledermatology is uniquely compatible to providing dermatologic care. The use of mobile phones in a store-and-forward approach, where gathered data are sent to a distant health provider for later review, may be a potential bridge in seeking dermatologic care.
