Early Detection of Skin Tumors Using a Telemedicine Tool in Primary Care

Обзор

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.

Подробное описание

The project is a national, prospective, multicenter, single-arm interventional pilot project for skin tumors screening involving 18 general practitioners and 6 dermatology centers in the Czech Republic.

The main objective of the project is the early detection of skin tumors by general practitioners, increasing the efficiency of healthcare, and methodically preparing, implementing, and evaluating the pilot project. The project aims to verify the suitability of the proposed early detection procedure for skin tumors, as well as to establish and test new methods and integrate them into the healthcare system.

As part of the project, the procedure will be tested on a sample of approximately 1,440 individuals, which may help validate the use of telemedicine tools in healthcare. A methodology for the use of telemedicine tools will be developed, along with a framework for collaboration between general practitioners and affiliated dermatologists. Systemic changes will be proposed to enhance the efficiency of the screening process.

The project is supported by the European Social Fund (Operational Programme Employment Plus) and the state budget of the Czech Republic. It is registered with the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of the Czech Republic under ID: CZ.03.02.02/00/22\_005/0002008.

Вмешательства

• Диагностический тест Intervention with telemedicine tool
  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-ri
