DermatologistsSummary for practice owners
Dr. Farah Kamangar, a dermatologist and health technology founder, discusses AI and remote care alongside research and public communication. For practice owners, two operational pressures shape the technology discussion: administrative workload and uneven access to dermatology. Kamangar describes AI as a possible way to reduce clerical tasks. She also considers remote visits for follow-up and for patients who face long travel distances. Owners can weigh those uses against the in-person services at the center of their practice.
Workflow gets specific attention. Kamangar says a tool must fit the clinic's existing operations; a product that interrupts patient flow will be difficult to adopt. She sees possible AI uses in administrative work and wants physicians involved in developing or evaluating these products. Owners considering a purchase can ask staff who will use the tool to map changes across a visit before comparing features.
Kamangar also talks about public education and media interviews. She recommends checking how published material represents a speaker's comments. For an owner, that is a concrete media practice to pair with clear decisions about technology: choose digital care for services suited to it, guard clinical time, and involve clinicians in tool decisions. The interview does not compare vendors or give implementation steps.
