Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents a tele-expertise experiment in dermatology with the aim of early detection of skin cancers. This
telemedicine system allows the general practitioner (GP) to send a request for an opinion to a distant dermatologist. Carried
out in France (Hauts-De-France region) for 5 years, this experiment gathered real data exchanged between GPs and
dermatologists, and accounting for a total of 1,812 tele-expertises. The results show that tele-expertise makes it possible to
reduce the time taken to take charge of dermatology patients. It is also noted that the requests of GPs do not relate only to
skin cancer, yet also to benign lesion. Based on a numerical model developed alongside with the experiment, the next
challenge is to demonstrate the economic sustainability of tele-expertise in dermatology. |
