Interventions

  • Intervention with telemedicine tool — DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
    The diagnostic management of enrolled patients will be guided by standardized procedures carried out in general practitioners' offices. Physicians will be trained to identify suspicious skin lesions, capture high-resolution images using dermatoscopes, and transfer the data into advanced telemedicine software. The platform, supported by AI-driven algorithms, enables precise risk stratification of lesions and facilitates remote consultation with collaborating dermatologists. Patients with high-risk lesions will be referred to specialized dermatology centers for further examination and intervention. In cases where excision of a lesion is performed, histopathological assessment will be conducted, and results will be systematically recorded within the dedicated telemedicine platform, ensuring secure and efficient information exchange between dermatologists and general practitioners.

Study Details

The project is a national, prospective, multicenter, single-arm interventional pilot of screening skin tumors in the Czech Republic. The primary aim of the project is to methodically prepare, implement and evaluate a pilot project that will verify the suitability of the proposed procedure of early detection of skin tumors by using a telemedicine tools and setting up and testing new methods and implementation into the system of social health care.

Arms

  • Experimental: Adults with suspected skin lession
    Pilot screening will be conducted in general practitioners' offices, where physicians will be trained to examine skin lesions using magnifying devices (dermatoscopes) and advanced telemedicine software, enabling faster diagnostics of suspicious findings. Patients with high-risk lesions will be referred to specialized dermatology centers.
