CARMEL, Ind. , October 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — ParaPRO, a specialty pharmaceutical company specializing in innovative treatments for human ectoparasites, today announced that it will unveil AI Thought Leader – a pioneering medical education platform that allows healthcare practitioners to engage “live” with leading clinical experts on public health topics – at the American Academy National Conference & Expo of Pediatrics (AAP) at Anaheim, California, October 7-112022. The introduction of AI Thought Leader marks the first use of user-driven, interactive artificial intelligence (AI)-based technology to advance scientific exchange.

According Bill Culpepper 3President of ParaPRO, “We have developed AI Thought Leader to bring attention to the first FDA-approved “complete cure” for scabies, which has long been one of the most common, albeit underrepresented, public health problems. Because many doctors don’t often see scabies in their practice, it is often misdiagnosed or mistreated. This new technology allows us to share the knowledge and clinical experiences held by the privileged few with practitioners around the world, regardless of the physical barriers to in-person interaction.”

AAP conference attendees will be among the first to experience the educational benefits of AI Thought Leader specific to the identification, diagnosis and treatment of scabies, and featuring three of the most respected experts on the condition of the disease:

• Theodore RosenMD, FAAD, Professor of Dermatology at Baylor College of Medicine; Chief of Dermatology at the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center
