Problem
Patients with autoimmune skin diseases like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis often require phototherapy, which traditionally involves frequent visits to a clinic, creating inconvenience and limiting accessibility. Existing treatments may also include invasive therapies or medications with significant side effects.
Solution
Skinuvita offers a digital phototherapy solution that allows patients to conveniently manage their autoimmune skin conditions from home under medical supervision. The system utilizes specific UV light wavelengths (311nm) to target and reduce inflammation associated with conditions like psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and hand eczema. Patients use a CE-marked phototherapy device at home, guided by a mobile app that provides step-by-step instructions, treatment reminders, and progress tracking. The app securely transmits data to the supervising dermatologist, who can remotely monitor the patient's progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed. This approach eliminates the need for frequent clinic visits and reduces reliance on systemic medications.
