Mobile Tele-Dermatology Use Among University Students: A Pilot Study at Saint Joseph University (USJ).

Due to its quick diagnosis and treatment plan, Tele-dermatology (TDM) had already gained the trust of patients and doctors by the turn of the twenty-first century. We therefore extend our pilot study into a descriptive inquiry to gain a good insight into the propensity of University Students in Lebanon to use Mobile Tele Dermatology (TDM). This paper is a continuation of the statistical analysis performed to determine the factors influencing the use of TDM by university students. We evaluate the connection between medical factors and TDM adoption, the influence of subjective norms and perceived risks, also in the contexts of social determinants, such as age and marital status. Result demonstrability showed as a strong predictor of adoption in both the statistical analysis and the descriptive inquiry in this paper. Both academics and practitioners should benefit from the extra observations and results of this pilot survey. A qualitative study is advised to build on this pilot and learn more about the factors influencing usage intention. This study can be expanded to a broader population with a range of ages and professions, offering a helpful comparison of the markets that can be served and the target audience that could offer information for both manufacturers and practitioners.
