I. ABSTRACT
Neonatal and pediatric skin conditions rarely require in-person consultations to ensure proper diagnosis; therefore, remote consultation would be a more practical and effective approach to conducting regular visits. Still, available solutions lack well-integrated communication processes, diagnostic approaches, and data management mechanisms that would complete the care cycle effectively. This project proposes the development of a robust mobile application designed to address these challenges by enabling caregivers to submit high-resolution images of pediatric skin conditions directly through their smartphones. Physicians will be able to remotely review these images, tag the diagnosis using predefined or custom categories, and provide timely feedback and recommendations to caregivers. The system will also incorporate features for securely
This means storing the submitted images and their associated metadata in a structured format, thus creating a repository for future dermatological research while keeping in mind the data privacy regulations.
This application shall be used with a user-friendly interface for the caregivers and more holistic tools for physicians in the management of a consultation. The platform has bridged the gap between caregivers and the medical professionals, hence improving access to dermatological care, reducing waiting times before treatment, and thus advancing pediatric dermatology research. In the future, this remedy could potentially bring about a drastic change in diagnosing and handling pediatric dermatologic conditions, more so in marginalized regions with minimum access to specialists.
