Telemedicine as an alternative: contactless and secure diagnoses
Concrete diagnoses are the be-all and end-all in medicine. However, the Corona pandemic made the conditions for good diagnostics more difficult. Telemedicine offers an alternative - not only in times of pandemic. For this, however, it is necessary to exploit the full potential of technical possibilities. In order to offer an experience equivalent to a physical visit to the doctor, the applications must go beyond mere consultations. In addition to robotic examination systems, artificial intelligence can also make an important contribution to symptom recognition.
Dermatologist consultation via app – The successful start-up dermanostic
The start-up dermanostic, multiple-time exhibitor in the MEDICA START-UP PARK, unites telemedicine with dermatology: patients can upload images of skin diseases via app and receive specialist consultation. This not only helps to reduce direct contacts during the Corona pandemic, but also benefits areas without dermatologist offices. And dermanostic is now able to develop further thanks to a cooperation with the Beiersdorf AG. Learn more about the company in the video interview with Dr. Patrick Lang and Dr. Barbara Meyer-Lehmann.
