AI-based Paediatric Teledermatology Analysis and Proposed Framework

Teledermatology technology development has been increasing due to the pandemic of COVID-19 which limit human physical contact. In addition, it is designed to cope with the unbalanced distribution of dermatologists especially in rural country including Indonesia. It implies that the dermatology health care are provided by general practitioners. The competence of general practitioners in dealing with dermatological diseases is limited. Therefore, the probability of misdiagnosis cases is considerably high. The misdiagnosis will delay the recovery which will affect the quality of life. Specifically for paediatric cases, misdiagnosis could affect the child’s growth and development. Connecting the general practitioner to the specialist or consultant and supporting them with AI-based technology through teledermatology technology becomes urgent due to these issues. This paper aims to present a literature review on the development of teledermatology worldwide with its scope and objectives. The PRISMA flowchart method is used to outline the effectiveness of the teledermatology system and its features. The presented literature review provides insight into the urgency of teledermatology system in each country, framework modelling and significant features. In addition, this paper contributes to propose paediatric teledermatology design in Indonesia based on the local background and insight of recent teledermatology technology development point of views.
