VA Implementation of Teledermatology Apps

Last updated on Feb 2, 2026

The VA Teledermatology project seeks to evaluate the implementation of two new mobile apps implemented by the VA Office of Connected Care, VA Telederm (intended for providers) and My Telederm intended for Veterans. My work is focused on helping the VA with rigorous research design in support of this objective.
