Area of Science:

Medical Informatics
Dermatology
Digital Health

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telemedicine in healthcare.
Accurate dermatological diagnosis via telemedicine relies heavily on the quality of clinical images and contextual information provided.
Medical training often lacks comprehensive education on clinical photography for telemedicine.

Purpose of the Study:

To address the educational gap in clinical photography for telemedicine.
To provide a structured approach for healthcare professionals to improve telemedicine image quality.

Main Methods:

Introduction of the CLOSE-UP acronym as a mnemonic for best practices in clinical photography.
The acronym guides clinicians on image capture, data handling, and storage protocols.

Main Results:

The CLOSE-UP acronym offers a systematic method to enhance the quality of images used in telemedicine consultations.
Improved image quality can lead to more accurate remote diagnoses and better patient care.

Conclusions:

Implementing the CLOSE-UP framework can significantly improve the effectiveness of teledermatology.
Standardized image protocols are crucial for the reliable and widespread use of telemedicine in dermatology.
