The greatest advantage of such a healthcare delivery and management system is that the patient does not need to travel all the way to a specialty Centre. High end imaging ensures that patient's reports and images are transmitted over a secured network maintaining security and accuracy

“Dermatology has been a forerunner in the use of communications technology. As a visual specialty with low mortality and many chronic conditions, dermatology is an ideal candidate to capitalize on the unprecedented rate of technological evolution that has occurred over the last decade.

Majority of dermatology patients express willingness to send images to their doctor in return for faster diagnosis and treatment. Nevertheless, proponents of teledermatology have convincingly demonstrated the value of this service to patients and to the skeptics in their own profession. The convergence of a supply problem, a feasible solution, and changing consumer demands has, however, created an exciting opportunity for teledermatology to show its value
