How comfortable will people be with, rather than a doctor inspecting their entire body, having pictures taken of their entire body?
Certain centers do use whole body imaging/photography, e.g. this thing: https://www.canfieldsci.com/imaging-systems/vectra-wb360-imaging-system/ https://www.canfieldsci.com/imaging-systems/vectra-wb360-ima...
I expect it'll be quite a while before, say, a GP augmented by an AI is price-competitive with a board-certified dermatologist.
I'm curious about whether you could just send a (de-identified) photo with maybe some additional basic info to a web service that then spit back a differential. I don't know about costs (sounds relatively low cost to run, maybe a subscription like UpToDate?), reimbursement, or whether this suddenly would be a regulated device, but if I were a GP I would love something like that to help me -- it would make me faster and better at my job. I don't need to compare to board-certified dermatologists.
