GENERAL OBJECTIVES SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES To carry out a prospective validation of a machine learning (ML) model as a diagnostic support tool for cutaneous pathology in Primary Care. To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and efficacy of AA models in a real clinical settings . Comparing their diagnostic capacity with that of Primary Care doctors and dermatologists. To detect which skin pathologies are not included i n the current model that contains 44 diagnoses. To know the level of satisfaction of Primary Care professionals with the use of the artificial intelligence model. DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY Prospective, multicenter observational pilot study. N= 100 patients . Study population: > 18 years old who consult for a skin lesion in the Primary Care of Central Catalonia.

Voice Assistance – Generative AI
Conclusions We are “ready” – desperate “In House” development/validation EFFICIENT– bias Generative IA huge potential – EFFICIENT (time)
