In one word, I am a skin enthusiast! My deep fascination with skin stems from its ability to reflect both systemic disorders and external concerns. The study of skin is a multidisciplinary field, encompassing medicine, biology, chemistry, psychology, sociology, and more. Currently, it’s exciting to see how digital innovations like AI, GenerativeAI, IoT, and Big Data are revolutionizing the skin industry. This industry, which includes dermatology, aesthetics, and skincare, faces challenges such as limited access to care and widespread misinformation. While digital technologies will never replace the expertise of medical professionals, and despite existing implementation hurdles, they offer promising solutions to these issues by enhancing care accessibility and providing accurate, data-driven insights.
Co-founder of the Skin & Digital Summit. The Vision of the Skin & Digital Summit is to create and facilitate a comprehensive conversation about what advances in digital technology & artificial intelligence can bring to the skin business at large (dermatology, aesthetics, skincare).
In her research, she has been studying teledermatology and its impact, which involves synchronous and asynchronous solutions for diagnosing and treating patients with dermatologic conditions. She has spent several years developing seamless models for the implementation of teledermatology, and is dedicated to sharing these innovations with physicians, hospitals and health care systems around the world. Toby Maurer is the Founder and President of Maurer Dermatology Associates (MDA).
