Abstract
In the United States (U.S.), the COVID-19 outbreak is still ongoing. As a result, medical professionals are increasingly turning to new forms of technology and innovation to provide therapy to patients requiring medical assistance. This pattern is anticipated to maintain its prevalence well into the foreseeable future. The standard wait time for a new patient to be seen by a dermatologist in the United States is 33 days; however, the standard wait time in rural areas is 96 days. By conducting a content analysis of the pertinent published literature, this research aims to study the potential of telemedicine technology to serve the growing demand for dermatology among patients. Tele-dermatology is a crucial tool to expand healthcare access and reduce health disparities by enabling timely and equitable dermatological care, especially in underserved and remote areas through emerging and innovative healthcare technologies.
