Medical Care Technologies Inc. announced that as part of the wellness focus of Medical Care Technologies, the company is rolling out a Teledermatology application.

Teledermatology is described as the practice of dermatology using available communication and information technology. Teledermatology is an important area of telemedicine activity that focuses primarily on the diagnosis and treatment of dermatologic conditions.

Medical Care Technologies Teledermatology incorporates both Store and Forward Teledermatology as well as live video teleconference Teledermatology. 

Teledermatology uses video and audio transmission for interactive consultation. Store and Forward teledermatology incorporates clinical images and clinical information saved on MCT's Telehealth Suite and Medsuite. In fact, the unique aspect of mobile Teledermatology is that this system might become a filtering or triage system allowing a more sensible approach for the management of patients with emergent skin diseases.

In addition, mobile Teledermatology may also become a powerful screening tool for malignant cutaneous tumors.
