Teledermatology [49] is the provision of dermatology services without the need to consult a dermatologist in person. This procedure exists thanks to improvements and a higher ease of access to technologies such as the internet and dermatoscopes, as well as the average cameras being able to obtain higher quality images.
With improvements to the camera and dermatoscopes, an average camera can be extended by a simple dermatoscope. This makes it able to capture images of a worrying skin lesion with dermoscopic-like quality. These images, along with a description, are sent through the internet to a queue. The queue is processed by teleconsultants (that are dermatologists). They determine if the lesion requires immediate attention, if the data is inconclusive or if it is benign. This feedback is given typically within a 24 hour period [49].
This method brings several advantages. An immediate opinion is not required, allowing specialists time to verify their conclusion. Despite usually taking 24 hours to provide a response, it is a signi?cant improvement to the current wait time to see a dermatologist. Lastly, this procedure allows access to dermatology care in remote regions where an expert might not be available.
Despite these advantages, there has not been a consensus if teledermatology is comparable to dermatology. However, at its lowest point, it provided results slightly inferior to those of dermatology [49]. These results indicate that teledermatology is a viable way to streamline the triage of patients, ensuring the most urgent ones get treatment sooner. This improves the e?ciency of the work time of the dermatologists, as the healthier patients will not necessitate a physical consultation.

Dr. Chopra, for your Advanced Mathematical Modeling course, I propose "Nonlinear Tools: Theory Meets Diverse Problems." This book breaks free from the limitations of linear models and dives into the fascinating world of nonlinear mathematics. We'll bridge the gap between theoretical concepts like chaos theory and practical applications, equipping you with powerful tools to tackle real-world complexities.

"Nonlinear Tools" delves into core principles, exploring nonlinear dynamics, complex systems, and the numerical methods crucial for solving these problems. We'll also analyze nonlinear differential equations and their applications across various fields. But this book goes beyond theory. We'll embark on a journey to see how these powerful tools are used in physics, chemistry, biology, even economics, finance, and social sciences, showcasing their versatility in modeling intricate systems.

Furthermore, recognizing the growing importance of nonlinear tools in data analysis and AI, the book explores their role in machine learning and control systems, highlighting their problem-solving potential. "Nonlinear Tools" is a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, and engineers encountering nonlinearity, and a captivating introduction for anyone interested in the power of this branch of mathematics to revolutionize how we approach complex problems across diverse disciplines.
