A. D. Patel, W. C. Rundle, et al.

This study by Akash D Patel and colleagues explores the rising trends in teledermatology (TD) usage during the COVID-19 pandemic, revealing that marginalized groups like females, younger patients, and non-white races are utilizing these services more. The findings highlight the potential of TD to transform healthcare models for underrepresented populations.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine teledermatology (TD) utilization trends during the COVID-19 pandemic using national and institutional data. Analysis of national (American Academy of Dermatology's DataDerm registry) and institutional (Duke University Health Systems) data revealed that females, younger patients, non-white races, and out-of-state patients showed higher TD utilization. These differential trends suggest TD may benefit marginalized populations and should inform future healthcare models.
