The Role of Digital Tools for Educational Purposes and Better Skin Case Management

Dr. José-Antonio Ruiz-Postigo qualified from the Medical School of Autonomous University of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. He is a post-graduate holder in Tropical Medicine and International Health, and he further pursued his interest in research by completing his PhD at the University of Barcelona. His thesis was on the epidemiology and control of human African trypanosomiasis in the municipality of Kissama, Angola. He has been working on Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) for 28 years, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region. Since 2013, he is based at WHO headquarters where he led the World Leishmaniasis Control Programme for the period 2016-2019. In 2020 he joined the newly created team on Skin Neglected Tropical Diseases at WHO headquarters. Since then, his main work has been related to the creation of the WHO mobile app on Skin NTDs, which includes a section on artificial intelligence, alongside the establishment of a channel for online courses at OpenWHO and the implementation of a global web-based surveillance at WHO for data collection, analysis and dissemination on leishmaniasis and skin NTDs.

Noninvasive optical imaging of skin cancers: from bedside to teleconsultation-a paradigm shift for wider integration

I am a research pathologist specializing in optical imaging techniques (i.e., in vivo/ex vivo microscopy), which are being explored in a research setting for non-invasive diagnosis of disease. I use my in-depth knowledge of histopathology, as well as my expertise in reading optical images, to analyze and validate findings. My career goal is to bring optical imaging from the bench to bedside, allowing for rapid real-time diagnosis that will improve clinical management and outcome for patients. Read more I am actively involved with confocal microscopy (CM), an optical imaging tool that has the ability to guide the diagnosis of melanocytic and non-melanocytic skin lesions, especially basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and has demonstrated impact on patient care. I am involved in a multicenter study to test the sensitivity and specificity for detection of BCC in surgically excised tissue, with the aim of validating confocal imaging in freshly excised ex vivo tissue as a means for guiding Mohs surgery. I am also working with a team of engineers and computational analysts to develop reliable parameters for computer-aided diagnosis to create mathematical models for quantitative analysis of confocal images of skin for in vivo diagnosis. Before joining MSK, I was a research pathologist in the departments of urology and surgical pathology at Weill Cornell Medical College, where I worked with other optical imaging techniques such as multiphoton microscopy and full-field optical coherence tomography. I have published many peer-reviewed articles in reputed journals and also co-authored two book chapters and presented my work at multiple national and international meetings. I am currently creating atlases on optical imaging to educate clinicians, surgeons, and pathologists on integrating optical imaging tools into routine diagnostic workflow.

Chair: Prof. Haiping Zhang, PhD

Acne treatment in China combines traditional methods with modern practices.

Dermoscopy

Comprehensive Dermoscopy for Dermatological Practice

Chair: Prof Awatef Kelati, MD

This comprehensive dermoscopy course provides dermatologists and healthcare professionals with essential skills in skin lesion evaluation, covering fundamental principles through advanced diagnostic applications across five key areas: global dermoscopy practices, pigmented lesion analysis (including differentiation of benign and malignant patterns), specialized techniques for skin of color, skin cancer detection (melanoma and non-melanoma), and general dermatological conditions (inflammatory, infectious, and hair/nail disorders). Participants will develop proficiency in recognizing diagnostic patterns, adapting techniques for diverse skin types, and applying dermoscopic algorithms, ultimately enhancing their clinical accuracy through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical case-based learning. The course emphasizes real-world application, addressing both common and challenging scenarios in dermatological practice.

Psychodermatology

Chair: Prof Mohammad Jafferany, MD

This specialized course explores the vital intersection between dermatology and mental health, equipping clinicians with the knowledge and tools to manage psychodermatological conditions effectively. Through a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, participants will learn to diagnose and treat dermatological delusional disorders, identify psychiatric comorbidities in skin disease patients, and implement mental health strategies for chronic dermatoses. The curriculum also examines psychological factors in cosmetic dermatology and provides cutting-edge screening techniques for body dysmorphic disorder, including modern digital manifestations like Zoom dysmorphia. Adopting a patient-centered approach, the course emphasizes multidisciplinary management of conditions where psychological and dermatological factors interact. Participants will gain expertise in recognizing psychiatric components of skin diseases, addressing the emotional

burden of chronic conditions, and applying ethical principles in cosmetic practice. The training combines expert instruction with case-based learning to bridge theory and clinical practice. Designed for dermatologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and primary care providers, this program enhances clinicians' ability to deliver holistic care that addresses both the visible and invisible aspects of skin disorders. Upon completion, practitioners will be better prepared to manage complex psychodermatological cases while improving patient outcomes through integrated mind-skin healthcare.
