Abstract

Digital transformation (DX) refers to the integration of digital technologies across all functional areas of an organization, fundamentally altering data management and decision-making processes to optimize it.DX is crucial for artificial intelligence (AI) use and development, yet in many parts of the world, patient photographs are often stored on PCs without indexing, making retrieval difficult and wasting time on manual organization.We have developed a medical photographic management system, in development since 2003 and open-sourced in 2007 (MedicalPhoto; https://github.com/whria78/medicalphoto).MedicalPhoto includes most diagnoses found in dermatology
