Possibilities of Differential Diagnosis of Atopic Dermatitis and Rash in COVID-19 Using Telemedicine Technologies

Abstract

Currently, the relevance of remote express diagnostics of various diseases is beyond doubt. The active spread of various types of epidemics and pandemics necessitates the improvement of various types of express diagnostics. The authors conduct research in the field of remote visual diagnostics using modern methods of processing telemedicine video information. This paper discusses the possibility of improving the quality of visualization of diagnostic signs using the digital dermatoscopy method for express diagnostics of skin rashes in COVID-19 in comparison with the manifestations of atopic dermatitis. The prospect of this work is the study of illumination conditions during registration and selection of skin areas for the analysis of diagnostic images.
