The Global Beauty & Wellness Awards Team is constantly searching for innovations and industry best practices to inspire like-minded professionals and curious consumers. Now, in this post, we have compiled a few dermatology mobile apps and their uses, which might be interesting to you.
In the current digital era, it is not a surprise that technology is taking over our lives. Further social media and entertainment, smartphones are becoming essential for some other processes and practices, and when it comes to dermatology and skincare, there have been several innovations in making our life easier and more practical.
In dermatology, there has been a huge growth in mobile applications. According to a study published in 2017, there was an 80.8% percent growth from 2014, which is quite understandable. With these innovations and a fast internet connection, databases, disease guides and orientation from health care professionals are just a tap away from us.
What these dermatology apps usually do is provide a guide based on the patient’s symptoms. They can offer an instant diagnosis or assessment using smart algorithms or a professional’s advice. The methodology varies depending on the app, so we will give you a few examples of them, and hopefully, you can find the most convenient for you.
