What is Accuracy of Mobile Digital Teledermoscopy for Skin Self-examinations in Adults at High Risk of Skin Cancer: an Open-label, Randomised Controlled Trial about?

## Background: Skin self-examinations supplemented with mobile teledermoscopy might improve early detection of skin cancers compared with naked-eye skin self-examinations. we aimed to assess whether mobile teledermoscopy-enhanced skin self-examination can improve sensitivity and specificity of self-detection of skin cancers when compared with naked-eye skin self-examination. ## Methods: This randomised, controlled trial was done in brisbane (qld, australia). eligible participants (aged ≥18 years) had at least two skin cancer risk factors as self-reported in the eligibility survey and had to own or have access to an iphone compatible with a dermatoscope attachment (iphone versions 5-8). participants were randomly assigned (1:1), via a computer-generated randomisation procedure, to the intervention group (mobile dermoscopy-enhanced self-skin examination) or the control group (naked-eye skin self-examination). control group and intervention group participants received web-based instructions on how to complete a whole body skin self-examination. all participants completed skin examinations at baseline, 1 month, and 2 months; intervention group participants submitted photographs of susp
