Overview

Do you know what psoriasis is? Psoriasis is a disease that causes wounds to appear on people’s skin, which causes pain, discomfort and significant inconvenience. What is more, there is also a significant social aspect - many sufferers often feel embarrassed to be in public, which reduces their life quality. Given that psoriasis is an auto-immune disease, it requires on-going treatment. More than 125 million people worldwide suffer from psoriasis. Our team has developed a new way to treat psoriasis to help many people live more comfortable lives. With a team, we have created a flexible, varied size mobile devices (patches) with integrated UVB LEDs (a type of ultra-violet light), which patients can put on their damaged skin places and treat it. This type of treatment is 3 times more effective than treatment with creams, it provides mobility and multiple treatment possibilities, which competitors are not able to offer.
