Dr Bataille has recently organized with 2 dermatology colleagues the World Congress of Teledermatology at the Royal College of Physicians in London. The meeting attracted dermatologists and nurses from 22 countries and showed the rapid expansion of mobile applications for the remote diagnosis of skin cancer in areas of the world where dermatologists are not easy to reach.

The need for expertise in the diagnosis of skin lesions remotely is bigger than ever as the development of phone applications for skin cancer screening has expanded rapidly over the last few years with applications from GPs to specialists but also consumers directly to specialists. These applications raised important issues regarding diagnosis, confidentiality, audits, data storage and many others which were discussed at the meeting with many eminent teledermatologists from all over the world.
