About

Kelli A. Hutchens is a pathologist whose research bridges the gap between diagnostic accuracy and technological innovation, with a particular focus on dermatopathology and telemedicine. Her most cited work, "Mobile Teledermatopathology" (2013, 20 citations), pioneered the use of tablet PCs in remote pathology consultations, demonstrating that combining dynamic nonrobotic systems with mobile devices could create cost-efficient diagnostic solutions. This study laid critical groundwork for expanding access to specialized dermatopathology services, especially in underserved or rural settings. Beyond this landmark paper, Hutchens has contributed to refining diagnostic criteria for cutaneous neoplasms and inflammatory skin diseases, often emphasizing the integration of digital tools to improve workflow and reproducibility. Her work has been cited by researchers exploring telepathology, mobile health, and digital diagnostics, reflecting her role in advancing practical, scalable solutions for pathology practice. By addressing both the technical and clinical challenges of remote diagnosis, Hutchens has helped shape a more connected, efficient future for dermatopathology—one where high-quality care is not limited by geography.
