description The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted clinical research in dermatology and practices around the country transitioned to teledermatology amid physical distancing requirements. Despite their growing use in teledermatology and clinical care, dermatology applications have not been studied extensively in the research space. The use of mobile applications has the potential to improve the experience of study subjects and physicians and increase the pool of individuals willing to participate in research beyond the pandemic. We discuss the various pros and cons of mobile apps, as well as the necessary components they require to successfully conduct research.
