Traditional skin allergy patch testing can be cumbersome and time-intensive, often requiring multiple clinic visits. Mayo Clinic physicians have developed an emerging technology, allowing patients to capture photos of their skin. Through the power of an app, the providers have the ability to accurately analyze and assess the results. This approach eliminates the need for multiple clinc visits, saving time for both patients and clinicians. Also, an AI algorithm is able to detect differences in skin color, providing more accurate and personalized results. Learn how this cutting-edge technology is making patch testing easier, reliable, and more accessible for everyone. The episode features Charles Bruce, M.B., Ch.B.,  the chief innovation officer at Mayo Clinic in Florida, and Alison Bruce, M.B., Ch.B., dermatologist.
