PITARCH-BORT, Gerard; ARNANDIS-VINERTA, Oreto e HERRERO-MATIAS, Agustín Mª. Usefulness of teledermatology in prisons. The experience in the Penitentiary Center Castellón II. Rev. esp. sanid. penit. [online]. 2023, vol.25, n.1, pp.16-19. Epub 17-Jul-2023. ISSN 2013-6463. https://dx.doi.org/10.18176/resp.00062.
Introduction:
Teledermatology is the application of new technologies for the care of skin diseases. Its application in prisons allows the diagnosis and treatment of prisoners without the need to transfer them to the hospital, avoiding the problems associated with travel.
Material and method:
The objective of this work is to analyze the usefulness of teledermatology in prisons, through a retrospective observational study in the Castellón II-Albocàsser penitentiary.
Results:
The study sample consisted of 37 patients and 43 interconsultations. All the consultations corresponded to men, with a mean age of 42.43 years. 95.3% of the consultations were asynchronous and in 86% of them a diagnosis and a complete treatment plan were established. Only 18.6% of the consultations required a face-to-face consultation.
Discussion:
It is concluded that teledermatology in prisons is effective in the care and resolution of dermatological problems.
