Evaluation of the Impact of Using Digital Photographs on a Mobile Device Versus Printed Photographs on Patient Conducted Skin Exams

The primary aim is to determine the impact of using digital photographs on a mobile device
versus printed photographs on skin self-examination rates. The ease-of-use and overall
satisfaction with the two exam modalities will be evaluated. Secondarily, the impact on

evaluated. The study involves patients in the Pigmented Lesion Clinic that have received
total body photography for skin monitoring.

device for personal use that either:

- (2) patients that are having new images taken

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients that are children or adolescents

- Patients that are court-ordered to attend residential alcohol or other drug treatment
