Study description

Artificial intelligence (AI) based on imaging holds tremendous potential to enhance visual diagnostic accuracy in the medical field. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, limited access to in-person healthcare services drove shifts in medical care, hastening the adoption of telemedicine. In this context, AI usage for triage and decision support may be crucial for professionals to manage workload and improve performance. In dermatology, pigmented lesions, acne, and alopecia are three recurring pathology groups with high demand in dermatological centers. Both triage, clinical evaluation, and patient follow-up require in-person resources and specialist dedication. Employing tools like AI can benefit these professionals in reducing such processes and optimizing workload. Advancements in image recognition and interpretation, as well as in artificial intelligence, have spurred innovations in diagnosing various pathologies, including skin conditions. Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems and other algorithm-based technologies have demonstrated the ability to classify lesion images with a competency comparable to that of an expert physician. In this study, the Legit.Health tool, developed by AI LABS GROUP S.L., which utilizes artificial intelligence to optimize clinical flow and patient care processes for skin conditions, will be evaluated. The purpose of this tool is to automatically prioritize patients with greater urgency, assign the type of consultation (dermatological or aesthetic), enhance diagnostic capability and detection of malignant pigmented lesions in auxiliary staff, and provide a visual record (photograph) of the condition for later review by external experts. Thus, the main objective of this study is to validate that Legit.Health, based on Artificial Intelligence, improves efficiency in clinical flow and patient care processes, thereby reducing time and cost of patient care through enhanced diagnostic accuracy and severity determination.
