The state of artificial intelligence for systemic dermatoses: Background and applications for psoriasis, systemic sclerosis, and much more.

ABSTRACT

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been steadily integrated into dermatology, with AI platforms already attempting to identify skin cancers and diagnose benign versus malignant lesions. Although not as widely known, AI programs have also been utilized as diagnostic and prognostic tools for dermatologic conditions with systemic or extracutaneous involvement, especially for diseases with autoimmune etiologies. We have provided a primer on commonly used AI platforms and the practical applicability of these algorithms in dealing with psoriasis, systemic sclerosis, and dermatomyositis as a microcosm for future directions in the field. With a rapidly changing landscape in dermatology and medicine as a whole, AI could be a versatile tool to support clinicians and enhance access to care.
