policymaking. 9 AI has been used for diagnostic purposes where AI has been used to detect lesions of COVID-19 pneumonia and assess its shape and density. AI comes in handy by lowering the burden on physicians and in early diagnosis as PCR-based diagnostic tests take a long time.

AI has recently been incorporated in dermatology practice by researchers and clinicians where AI based softwares have been used for diagnosing various dermatoses. The efficacy of the diagnostic techniques becomes important in the specialty of dermatology as COVID-19 has been seen to present with a wide variety of dermatological manifestation ranging from perniosis like lesions, vesicular rash, petechial lesions and vascultic rash, which may present a diagnostic difficulty for the dermatologist. AI based diagnostic tools can be useful in the early diagnosis of COVID-19 cases who present mainly with dermatological manifestations and may present a diagnostic problem for the attending health care worker or the dermatologist. 10 AI will play a major role in this pandemic and its utility will shape the course of any similar event in future. The dermatology based AI tools can be incorporated among the initial screening measures for COVID-19 as it will broaden the spectrum of clinical manifestations and will be helpful in screening out more patients who might have been missed by the conventional screening methods. The early diagnosis and management of COVID-19 patients is pivotal for reduction of disease spread and for flattening of the curve. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
