THE 3^RD WORLD CONGRESS OF TELEDERMATOLOGY- TELEDERM 2010 – AMSTERDAM, OCTOBER 28-30, 2010.

The 3rd World Congress of Teledermatology – TeleDerm 2010 - was held in Amsterdam from October 28-30, 2010. The Scientific Committee put together three day scientific meeting covering current issues in Teledermatology.

Telemedicine utilizes modern telecommunication technology to exchange expert medical information. The inherently visual nature of dermatology makes it easily applicable to virtual medicine.

Teledermatology holds great potential for revolutionizing the delivery of dermatologic services. It provides a well-defined channel for interaction with experts’ dermatology.

The 3^rd World Congress of Teledermatology brought together all professionals interested in teledermatology.

Clinical studies, benefits for health workers and patients, new developments, business models, implementation issues, security and legal aspects and e-learning were discussed.
