Medical professional involvement in smartphone ‘apps’ in dermatology: Correspondence
Abstract
Funding sources: none. Conflicts of interest: none declared. Madam, Smartphones (mobile phones with advanced computing capability) are rapidly gaining in popularity, and with the advent of downloadable applications known as ‘apps’, their potential to deliver healthcare is increasingly recognized. There are now thousands of medical apps available. However, recent concerns regarding safety, confidentiality, quality of content and regulation in this rapidly evolving field of information technology have been raised. We have conducted a survey of contemporary dermatology‐themed smartphone apps in which we specifically examined the authorship in order to gauge the prevalence of medical professional involvement in app development and content. Seventy‐nine dermatology‐themed smartphone apps were identified through four major online app stores. Forty‐nine (62%) apps provided reference materials, ranging from searchable, illustrated databases of common skin conditions to portals for accessing online versions of popular dermatology textbooks and journals. Ten (13%) apps offered dermatology‐based questions/multiple‐choice questions. Eight (10%) apps were intended for use as a diagnostic aid, including disease severity scoring calculators [e.g. Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) for psoriasis], apps helping to formulate differential diagnoses, and those providing automated photoanalysers for risk stratification of solitary skin lesions. Among additional apps are those providing a means of self‐monitoring (n = 5, 6%), for example allowing patients to photograph their skin lesions, plot them on a diagram and compare them over time. Seven (9%) miscellaneous apps included a video tutorial demonstrating how to perform skin biopsies; an app containing the necessary software to use a physical dermoscope attachment; and an app detailing various dermatology patient support groups.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
