Artificial intelligence is already part of primary care consultations in Asturias, becoming a key support for dermatological diagnosis.
This software is integrated into primary care clinical workflows to improve speed and accuracy in consultations related to skin lesions. It detects nearly 300 benign and malignant conditions, indicating the probability of each one. In addition, it assesses the level of severity based on clinical scales and automatically verifies the quality of dermatological images to ensure the reliability of the results provided.

Technology assigns an urgency level to each case, facilitating triage and prioritising the most urgent cases to improve the quality of healthcare delivery. This project has been made possible through collaboration between Telefónica Tech, Legit.Health (developer of the dermatology AI model), and Idonia, combining expertise, technology and orchestration capabilities to drive digital transformation in the healthcare sector.

Highlights of the success story

Broad diagnostic coverage

The solution is capable of detecting nearly 300 dermatological conditions, including chronic, benign and malignant lesions.

Severity assessment

The tool estimates severity in conditions associated with clinical scoring systems, reducing variability between clinicians and supporting healthcare professionals in their daily practice.

Diagnóstico dermatológico más ágil y preciso con IA

In just three months, the use of AI in over 1,000 dermatological tests has enabled risk stratification for malignancy and improved clinical decision-making. With 78% of cases identified as low suspicion and effective detection of common conditions, hospital referrals are optimized, and care delivery is accelerated.

Image quality analysis algorithm

Dermatological image quality is verified prior to assessment, both for photographs taken with mobile devices and dermatoscope images. Inadequate images are rejected, ensuring consistent and reliable results.

: Optimisation of care workflows

This deployment helps prioritise the most urgent cases in primary care, avoiding unnecessary referrals to specialists and speeding up care for patients requiring priority assessment.
