AI in Dermatology: Bridging the Gap in Patient Care and Education.

ABSTRACT

The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education and clinical medicine has shown tremendous growth. The primary explanation for this application is due to AI's ability to integrate efficient and tailored methods for screening, utilizing diagnostics, as well as enhancement of patient and medical education. AI's wide scope of utility can be seen through its ability to improve efficiency in clinical settings through scheduling, charting, diagnostics and screening tools, ultimately allowing for physicians to be able to spend more focused time on patient care. AI has also shown a tangible impact on promoting patient education through its ability to provide patients with preliminary information regarding their diagnoses, prior to follow-up and further discussion with their physician. Similarly, AI's application in medical education has shown to be promising due to its ability to provide immediate and interactive feedback to the learner, which allows for meaningful reinforcement of knowledge. Through all of this, AI can be recognized as a tool that can provide incredible enhancement in the areas of clinical medicine and education, with meaningful opportunities for integration and application.
