Patient Perspectives regarding Artificial Intelligence-Driven Trichoscopy for Alopecia Evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Alopecia treatment can improve patients' quality of life, but slow hair regrowth makes progress difficult to detect. Trichoscopic measurements (TMs; hair density, hairs/cm²; hair caliber, µm) provide an objective method for monitoring treatment response. Artificial intelligence (AI) enables trichoscopic analysis without hair clippings. This study examines the perspectives of alopecia patients regarding AI-driven trichoscopy.

Methods

We conducted an IRB-approved survey study and chart review of 101 patients at the NYU Langone hair clinic undergoing AI-driven trichoscopy. Pre- and post-visit surveys measured self-perceived alopecia severity and quality-of-life impact before and after reviewing TMs with their dermatologist. Opinions regarding AI-driven t
