To date, telemedicine has been largely focused on "first contact visits." Psoriasis presents unique challenges, including the need for long-term management. Telemedicine offers opportunities to develop novel approaches such as exploring artificial intelligence (AI) solutions and the personal management of psoriasis care. IPC convened a working group to establish a road map for how IPC can aid the development and implementation of telemedicine focused on psoriasis diagnosis and management. The telemedicine working group, chaired by Alexander Navarrini and co-chaired by Joel Gelfand, is in the process of developing a consensus statement regarding telemedicine in psoriasis management.
