The Teledermatology project: telederm.org was conceived in 2002 by H. Peter Soyer and Rainer Hofmann-Wellenhof from the Department of Dermatology, Medical University of Graz, Austria and is aimed towards the exchange of knowledge and expertise on a worldwide level (PLoS Medicine 2005: Health in Action: telederm.org: Freely Available Online Consultations in Dermatology). The goal of the Community for Teledermatology
Dermatology is to create a surplus value for experts, physicians and healthcare workers interested in dermatology and teledermatology.
This teleconsultation service is based on the transmission of digital images following the store-and-forward method. Users are invited to submit clinical and dermatopathologic cases of interest to the discussion forum thus making them available for viewing and comment by all other members.
