摘要

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic dermatologic condition characterized by recurrent painful nodules, abscesses, and draining sinus tracts in the intertriginous areas and can significantly affect patients’ quality of life. On average, patients face a 10-year delay in diagnosis. Despite recent advances in the management of HS, this complex and heterogenous condition presents ongoing challenges for both patients and healthcare providers. Developments in telehealth, artificial intelligence (AI), and HS-specific mobile applications, have emerged as transformative tools in the management of HS with many patients having improved access to care and up to date information. Providers have also benefited from the development of digital tools to improve patient care and research. Herein, we review the current landscape and characterize developments in technology, particularly digital technology such as tele-dermatology and AI, and their effects on HS patient care, patient access, patient experience and HS research.
