A total of 1,319 publications were identified for AI-powered computer programs using targeted searches in PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar databases, as well as in the eLibrary and CyberLeninka electronic libraries for the period 2016–2025. Queries focused on AI, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), computer programs (mobile apps), and dermatovenereology were used. After a multi-stage screening based on inclusion/exclusion criteria (including the availability of quantitative performance metrics), 9 key articles with specific descriptions of the computer programs (mobile apps) were selected. A search and subsequent analysis identified 9 computer programs (Google DermAssist, SkinIO, Melanoma Check, Derma Onko Check, SkinVision, Tibot, SkinScan, Aysa, and Skinive), which use AI to diagnose and monitor skin conditions.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Effectiveness of the programs varies: Google DermAssist and Derma Onko Check demonstrated high accuracy (96–97%) and sensitivity (97–98%), while Skinive showed improvement in metrics over time from 2020 to 2021 (maximum sensitivity of 97.9% and specificity of 97.1%). Limitations include dependence on photo image quality, low effectiveness for rare conditions and dark skin tones, and the need for a biopsy to confirm a diagnosis. Mobile apps using CNN demonstrate high sensitivity (87–97.9%), though specificity varies significantly (70–98%), which may increase the number of additional consultations with specialist doctors when using these programs in diagnostics.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. AI-based software (mobile apps) offers significant potential for increasing the accessibility and accuracy of skin pathology diagnostics, especially in remote areas and regions with a shortage of dermatovenereologists. Promising developments encompass the integration of computer programs with telemedicine, the refinement of algorithms for diagnosing rare pathologies, and the standardization of testing to enhance result reproducibility.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель: cравнительный анализ современных программ для ЭВМ (программ для смартфонов – мобильных приложений), использующих искусственный интеллект (ИИ) для диагностики и динамического мониторинга патологий кожи, с оценкой их архитектуры, эффективности и применимости в клинической практике.</p></sec><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. Для поиска программ ЭВМ под управлением ИИ с помощью целевого поиска в базах данных PubMed/ MEDLINE и Google Scholar, в электронных библиотеках eLibrary и КиберЛенинка за период 2016–2025 гг. с использованием запросов, ориентированных на ИИ, сверточные нейронные сети (англ. convolutional neural network, CNN), программы для ЭВМ (мобильные приложения) и дерматовенерологию, было найдено 1319 публикаций. После многоэтапного скрининга по критериям включения/исключения (в т.ч. по наличию количественных метрик эффективности) отобрано 9 ключевых статей с конкретным описанием программ для ЭВМ (мобильных приложений). Последующий анализ определил 9 программ (Google DermAssist, SkinIO, Melanoma Check, Derma Onko Check, SkinVision, Tibot, SkinScan, Aysa, Skinive), использующих ИИ для диагностики и мониторинга патологий кожи.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Эффективность программ различается: Google DermAssist и Derma Onko Check показали высокие точность (96– 97%) и чувствительность (97–98%), Skinive – улучшение метрик в динамике с 2020 по 2021 гг. (максимальная чувствительность 97,9%, специфичность 97,1%). Ограничения включают зависимость от качества фотоизображения, низкую эффективность при редких патологиях и темных тонах кожи, а также необходимость биопсии для подтверждения диагноза. Мобильные приложения, использующие CNN, демонстрируют высокую чувствительность (87–97,9%), но специфичность значительно варьируется (70–98%), что может увеличивать количество дополнительных консультаций врачей-специалистов при использовании этих программ в диагностике.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Программы для ЭВМ (мобильные приложения) на основе ИИ обладают значительным потенциалом для повышения доступности и точности диагностики патологий кожи, особенно в отдаленных районах и в регионах с дефицитом врачей-дерматовенерологов. Перспективы развития включают интеграцию программ для ЭВМ с телемедициной, улучшение алгоритмов диагностики редких патологий и стандартизацию тестирования для повышения воспроизводимости результатов.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>искусственный интеллект</kwd><kwd>сверточные нейронные сети</kwd><kwd>программы для ЭВМ</kwd><kwd>мобильные приложения</kwd><kwd>телемедицина</kwd><kwd>диагностика</kwd><kwd>дерматовенерология</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>artificial intelligence</kwd><kwd>convolutional neural networks</kwd><kwd>telemedicine</kwd><kwd>mobile applications</kwd><kwd>diagnostics dermatology</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Liopyris K., Gregoriou S., Dias J., Stratigos A.J.
