Abstract

Eighty-four dermatologists in private practice in Bavaria were surveyed by postal questionnaire. Of the 45 who responded (a 54% response rate), 96% used a computer in their private practice. Fifty-seven per cent of respondents owned systems with Pentium processors, while 23% were still using 386 or 486 processors. Most of them used the Windows 95, UNIX or Apple operating system. Of the respondents who had a modem, 74% used ISDN. There were few modems connected to the ordinary telephone network. Of all respondents, 56% used email regularly. Several possible teledermatology applications were proposed in the survey (i.e. teleconsultation, on-line/off-line videoconferencing, email attachments). Fifty-six per cent of respondents said that they would perform teleconsultations with dermatology clinics, 40% preferred a teleconsultation via telephone and computer, and 42% sending files via email. The survey demonstrated that a high proportion of dermatologists in private practice would use a teledermatology service.
