Scientific titleRandomised Controlled Trial of Asynchronous and Synchronous Telemedicine In Dermatology - RCT-ASTID
Study acronymRCT - ASTID
Study objectivesThis randomised controlled trial will compare the traditional out-patient consultation with two different applications of telemedicine for obtaining a specialist dermatological opinion: the first will involve a structured electronic message (including digital, still images); the second a real-time tele-consultation. The objectives are to confirm the equivalence of the accuracy of diagnosis, undertake economic analysis and compare patients' and professionals' opinions.
