About: BACKGROUND: Teledermatology addresses the problems associated with the lack of specialists and the often long waiting time for an appointment with a dermatologist. The research project Online Dermatologist—AppDoc enables a fast anonymous expert opinion and was approved on 22 October 2018 by the Landesärztekammer Baden-Württemberg for 2 years as a model project. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present work is the presentation of the first real healthcare data for German teledematology within the framework of the external quality assurance of the model project Online Dermatologist—AppDoc. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Anonymous data records submitted to Online Dermatologist—AppDoc between 21 November 2018 and 1 August 2019 were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively at the Department of Dermatology of the University Hospital Essen. In addition to the evaluation of the data records submitted so far, 100 cases submitted underwent a second assessment by a board-certified dermatologist to assess concordance. RESULTS: A total of 1364 cases (60.4% men, 39.6% women) were included in the current first external scientific evaluation. In 90.3% of the cases, remote diagnosis was possible. The two most frequent diagnoses were different forms of eczema (n = 270) and nevi (n = 163). Almost two thirds of the patients (64.3%) could be treated teledermatologically only. The random second examination of 100 cases resulted in an agreement of the diagnosis including the differential diagnosis/diagnoses in 97% of the cases. CONCLUSIONS: The first external scientific evaluation of the teledermatological model project Online Dermatologist—AppDoc indicates that the reduction of spatial and temporal barriers of a dermatological examination as well as the teledermatological triage have been so far successful.   Goto Sponge  NotDistinct  Permalink
