As an open-access journal, we are read by clinicians and patients alike and focus on applied science reporting the design and evaluation of health innovations and emerging technologies in dermatology. We publish original research, research letters, case reports, viewpoints, short articles, and reviews (both literature reviews and medical device/technology/app reviews). Articles are carefully copyedited and XML-tagged.

JMIR Derm is indexed in Sherpa Romeo, ScopusDOAJ, CABI, and PubMed Central/PubMed.

Psychosocial Support for Skin Patients

Psychodermatological disorders (PDs) and their associations with mental health problems are one of the most frequent research themes in dermatology outpatient settings. Surprisingly, very few studies have been conducted to evaluate PDs among patients with primary psychiatric conditions. As such, the relationship between preexisting psychiatric conditions and comorbid PDs is underrepresented in the literature.

Atopic Eczema

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory disease caused by a type 2 T helper cell–mediated immune response to environmental antigens. Approximately 1 in 5 patients with AD presents with moderate to severe disease, and treatments approved by the Food and Drug Administration include emollients, topical glucocorticoids, and calcineurin inhibitors. Dupilumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody, improves AD via inhibition of interleukin-4 and interleukin-13.

Machine Learning from Digital Images in Dermatology

Previous research studies have demonstrated that medical content image retrieval can play an important role by assisting dermatologists in skin lesion diagnosis. However, current state-of-the-art approaches have not been adopted in routine consultation, partly due to the lack of interpretability limiting trust by clinical users.
