mySkin Study
mySkin is a digital health study enabling remote monitoring of psoriasis through a smartphone app built on RADAR-base, supporting longitudinal symptom tracking, imaging, and patient engagement.
Clinical Context and Unmet Need
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory condition with fluctuating severity. Traditional care relies on infrequent clinic visits, limiting insight into disease variability and treatment response.
There is a need for continuous, patient-centred monitoring to support personalised care.
Study Design and RADAR-base Integration
- Remote observational study (~500 participants)
- Features:
- Self-reported outcomes
- Patient-captured images
- Treatment tracking
- Push notifications and reminders
- Participant feedback dashboards
RADAR-base Enabled Solution
RADAR-base transforms mySkin from a static survey-based system into a dynamic, user-centred remote monitoring platform, enabling continuous data capture and feedback.
Impact
- Improved patient outcomes (potential): Supports earlier detection of flares
- Changes in service delivery: Enables remote, decentralised monitoring
- Patient and public involvement: Active patient participation in data collection
- Operational excellence: Integration of imaging, PROs, and feedback
- Research inclusion: Enables participation beyond specialist centres
mySkin demonstrates how RADAR-base can enable scalable, patient-centred monitoring in chronic dermatological conditions. By integrating self-reported data, imaging, and feedback mechanisms, the platform enhances patient engagement and supports continuous disease tracking.
If adopted in routine care, this model could reduce clinic burden, improve disease management, and support personalised treatment strategies.
