Patient-reported outcomes are relevant in clinical practice showing patient benefits, supporting clinicians’ decision-making, and contributing to the delivery of high standards of care. Digital monitoring of patient-reported outcomes is still rare. The Patient Benefit Index (PBI) measures benefits and goals from patients’ views and may be relevant for regular documentation and shared decision-making.

Pathogenesis of seborrheic dermatitis involves lipid secretion by sebaceous glands, Malassezia colonization, and an inflammatory response with skin barrier disruption. Each of these pathways could be modulated by diet, obesity, and nutritional supplements. Current treatment options provide only temporary control of the condition; thus, it is essential to recognize modifiable lifestyle factors that may play a role in determining disease severity.

Despite the global upscale of teledermatology during the COVID-19 pandemic, persistent barriers, such as the poor anamnesis and photo quality, hinder its effective use in practice. Understanding Dutch dermatologists’ experiences and satisfaction with using the teledermatology system in the Dutch health care system is needed. A holistic evaluation may provide valuable insight to understand how barriers interrelate which is deemed necessary for the innovation of teledermatology in practice.

This paper demonstrates a new, promising method using generative artificial intelligence (AI) to augment the educational value of electronic textbooks and research papers (locally stored on user’s machine) and maximize their potential for self-study, in a way that goes beyond the standard electronic search and indexing that is already available in all of these textbooks and files. The presented method runs fully locally on the user’s machine, is generally affordable, and does not require high technical expertise to set up and customize with the user’s own content.

Dermatology is an ideal specialty for artificial intelligence (AI)–driven image recognition to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient care. Lack of dermatologists in many parts of the world and the high frequency of cutaneous disorders and malignancies highlight the increasing need for AI-aided diagnosis. Although AI-based applications for the identification of dermatological conditions are widely available, research assessing their reliability and accuracy is lacking.

Online patient-oriented platforms such as PatientsLikeMe (PLM) offer a venue for individuals with various diagnoses to share experiences and build community, though they may not be representative of the larger patient population. This potentially limits generalizability and raises concerns about the spread of misinformation, emphasizing the need for informed use and health care provider engagement.

Dermatologic patient education materials (PEMs) are often written above the national average seventh- to eighth-grade reading level. ChatGPT-3.5, GPT-4, DermGPT, and DocsGPT are large language models (LLMs) that are responsive to user prompts. Our project assesses their use in generating dermatologic PEMs at specified reading levels.
