Filter by:Artificial intelligence (AI) based on imaging holds tremendous potential to enhance visual diagnostic accuracy in the medical field. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, limited access to in-person healthcare services drove shifts in medical care, hastening the adoption of telemedicine. In this context, AI usage for triage and decision support may be crucial for professionals to manage workload and improve performance. In dermatology, pigmented lesions, acne, and alopecia are three recurring pathology groups with high demand in dermatological centers. Both triage, clinical evaluation, and patient follow-up require in-person resources and specialist dedication. Employing tools like AI can benefit these professionals in reducing such processes and optimizing workload. Advancements in image recognition and interpretation, as well as in artificial intelligence, have spurred innovations in diagnosing various pathologies, including skin conditions. Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems and other algorithm-based technologies have demonstrated the ability to classify lesion images with a competency comparable to that of an expert physician. In this study, the Legit.Health tool, developed by AI LABS GROUP S.L., which utilizes artificial intelligence to optimize clinical flow and patient care processes for skin conditions, will be evaluated. The purpose of this tool is to automatically prioritize patients with greater urgency, assign the type of consultation (dermatological or aesthetic), enhance diagnostic capability and detection of malignant pigmented lesions in auxiliary staff, and provide a visual record (photograph) of the condition for later review by external experts. Thus, the main objective of this study is to validate that Legit.Health, based on Artificial Intelligence, improves efficiency in clinical flow and patient care processes, thereby reducing time and cost of patient care through enhanced diagnostic accuracy and severity determination. The secondary objectives focus on measuring the diagnostic performance of Legit.Health: Demonstrate that Legit.Health enhances healthcare professionals' ability to detect malignant or suspicious pigmented lesions. Demonstrate that Legit.Health improves healthcare professionals' ability and precision in measuring the degree of involvement in patients with female androgenetic alopecia. Demonstrate that Legit.Health improves healthcare professionals' ability and precision in measuring the degree of involvement in patients with acne. Additionally, the study aims to assess the utility of this tool: Automate the triage/initial assessment process in patients presenting with pigmented lesions. Evaluate the reduction in healthcare resources usage by the center by reducing the number of triage consultations and directing the patient directly to the appropriate consultation (esthetic or dermatological). Evaluate Legit.Health's usability by the patient. Demonstrate that Legit.Health increases specialist satisfaction. Evaluate the reduction in healthcare resources usage by reducing the number of triage consultations and directing the patient directly to the appropriate consultation, whether in aesthetic or dermatological settings. Methodology Study Design Type This is an observational study, both prospective with a longitudinal character and retrospective case series. Study Period This study estimates a recruitment period of 3 months. The total study duration is estimated at 6 months, including the previous time for retrospective analysis and the necessary time after recruiting the last subject for database closure and editing, data analysis, and preparation of the final study report. The total study duration for each participant with pigmented lesions will be 1-3 months. The duration for patients with acne and alopecia will be 1 day. Study Population Adult patients (≥ 18 years) with skin pathologies treated at the Dermatology Unit of IDEI.
Pigmented lesions of the genital mucosa are common, affecting between 10% and 20% of the population. The clinical appearance is sometimes confusing. They are often extensive, irregular, and inhomogeneous in color, which can make them look suspicious. Moreover, dermatoscopic imaging is often complex to interpret, as shown by the many different patterns reported in the literature. Thus, preliminary work in confocal microscopy has shown that it is possible to simplify diagnosis by using microscopic, in vivo, non-invasive imaging. However, CIM cameras are rare, very expensive and difficult to access. Conversely, digital dermatoscopes with 400x magnification are much less expensive and can also allow, in a certain number of cases, an examination at the cellular level of tumors, with, in our opinion, the advantage of being easy to learn. In the context of the pooling of resources within medical centers in particular, their dissemination should accelerate. Furthermore, x400 dermatoscopy can provide similar information to IVCM for the most frequent black genital tumors.
Multi-center, Prospective, Open-Label with Before-After Study Design. Each subject will receive a single treatment. Treatment presets will be determined by the SMART Camera system and approved by the physician. Follow-up will take place at 1 month following the treatment. Skin and lesion attributes will be examined by the SMART system and the physician
It has been suggested that pathologists' diagnostic accuracy and confidence could be improved if they gained access to additional clinical information and in-vivo clinical and dermoscopic images of melanocytic tumors. This study examines the effect of digital training for pathologists in interpreting dermoscopic and clinical skin tumor images. The primary outcome of the upcoming DAHT RCT (Dermoscopy Augmented Histology Trial, a randomized controlled trial) is the diagnostic value (accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity) for the intervention and control group. For this purpose, we need an irrefutable gold standard diagnosis for all DAHT cases. The DAHT consensus trial strives to establish this gold standard through a four-phased Delphi-like process. Aim: To establish a gold-standard diagnosis for all DAHT cases. Data collection of DAHT cases: Department of plastic surgery, Herlev hospital, year 2020-2021 DAHT platform: Made in 2021-2023 by Melatech Consensus agreement: Four dermatopathologists assess all DAHT cases, year 2023
This is an observational, single-center, open-label photography evaluation. Any patient that arrives for consultation or treatment at the clinic, presenting the required lesions detailed in the protocol can be included.
Single-center, Prospective, Open-Label with Before-After Study Design. Each subject will receive up to three (3) consecutive treatments at 1-month interval. Treatment presets will be determined by the SMART Camera system and approved by the physician. Follow-up will take place at 1 month following the last treatment. Skin and lesion attributes will be examined by the SMART system and the physician on each visit and at follow-up.
Background: Melanoma mortality remains almost stable with a 0.2-1.5% increase annually despite rapid growth in reported melanoma incidence of 2.5-8.6% per year. Part of this discrepancy could be explained by overdiagnosis of melanoma, which may be as high as 54%. Histopathology is considered the gold standard diagnosis for melanocytic lesions despite only a moderately good intra- and inter-rater reliability. A possible explanation of why the inter-rater reliability is suboptimal could be that pathologists are inexperienced, extra cautious, or lack sufficient information needed for a reliable diagnosis.It has been hypothesized that the horizontal overview of a lesion through dermoscopy combined with clinical information on a given tumor, enables the generation of a tentative diagnosis that the pathologists can use to actively search for signs of pathology. Former research shows that clinicians' competence in dermoscopy can be improved by a short learning intervention, but that these skills aren't sustainable Aim: The aim of this study is to examine how acquired basic skills in dermoscopy of pigmented lesions and access to clinical images of a lesion, affect pathologists' confidence, accuracy and inter-rater reliability when interpreting melanocytic lesions.
