Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dermatology is leading a scientific metamorphosis characterized by mutual efforts in collecting and sharing data to finely dissect the pathogenesis and complications of diseases. Organizing the data in healthcare records in order to build extensive databases (big data) and address pivotal issues, such as cost optimization and the comorbidities that affect dermatological patients, is integral to advancing the field of dermatology. Furthermore, the use of big-data analytics to ensure treatment efficacy and to maximize patients' satisfaction and compliance is a key element of precision medicine. The COVID-19 pandemic is revolutionizing healthcare, and dermatology has been at the forefront of developing a new frontier in telemedicine to prevent unnecessary in-person visits, decrease healthcare costs and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
This Special Issue aims to focus on innovations in dermatology that have improved healthcare systems, helped physicians in delivering effective treatments and improved the patient–physician connection.
