Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and telemedicine have the potential to play a significant role in dermatology given the visual nature of most dermatological conditions. This is particularly in rural or remote areas where access to specialists is limited. Clinical images or histopathological images of sufficient quality may be utilised in various platforms to obtain a diagnosis either via consultation with a dermatologist, dermatopathologist, or artificial intelligence algorithms. This perspective piece seeks to examine the implications and potential impact of AI and telemedicine, and to evaluate where these have been implemented around the world as shown in case studies.
