Article Abstract

Background: Over the past decade, several studies have shown that potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in dermatology. However, there has yet to be a systematic review evaluating the usage of AI specifically within the field of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS).

Objective: In this review, we aimed to comprehensively evaluate the current state, efficacy, and future implications of AI when applied to MMS for the treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSC).

Materials And Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted following PRISMA guidelines across several databases, including PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane libraries. A predefined protocol was registered in PROSPERO, with literature search involving specific keywords related to AI and Mohs surgery for NMSC.

Results: From 23 studies evaluated, our results find that AI shows promise as a prediction tool for precisely identifying NMSC in tissue sections during MMS. Furthermore, high AUC and concordance values were also found across the various usages of AI in MMS, including margin control, surgical recommendations, similarity metrics, and in the prediction of stage and construction complexity.

Conclusion: The findings of this review suggest promising potential for AI to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of Mohs surgery, particularly for NMSC.

Background: Frailty is defined as a biological syndrome characterized by a decreased reserve and resistance to stressors. Frailty is closely related to lifestyle, and improving lifestyle can effectively reduce the incidence of frailty and related adverse events. Multi-component interventions were an effective mean of improving lifestyle, which has been validated in studies of other populations.

Background: Over the past decade, the proportion of the world's population aged ≥65 years has grown exponentially, presenting significant challenges, such as social isolation and loneliness among this population. Assistive technologies have shown potential in enhancing the quality of life for older adults by improving their physical, cognitive, and communication abilities. Research has shown that smart televisions are user-friendly and commonly used among older adults.
