Abstract
We have reviewed the current literature focused on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) for underserved populations and health equity in dermatology. Studies evaluating the utility and safety of AI model builds, and how they meet predefined benchmarks, as well as the clinical applications of AI, including decision-support systems and operational management, were the focus of this study. The seven studies included in our review provide an approach that assures underserved populations are the focus when developing and testing AI technology. They provide examples that could guide future studies focused on expanding care to underserved dermatology populations through the use of AI.
