About Atopic App

The Atopic App is a mobile app for people with atopic dermatitis, their loved ones and their doctors.

The Atopic App's main task is to help people with confirmed atopic dermatitis (AD) get the proper kind of skin care, follow their doctor's orders and successfully monitor their state with AD.

The Atopic App allows adults with AD and parents of children with AD to:

• document their skin condition, see even small changes, track the changes and stay motivated;
• assess the effect of various environmental factors and identify triggers that cause flare-ups;
• follow their doctor's orders and evaluate the effectiveness of the actions taken.

For doctors, the Atopic App is a tool for monitoring the treatment process and making optimal medical decisions aimed at engaging patients in the process and increasing compliance.

The Atopic App is not a medical app and is not intended to diagnose or prevent any disease.

The Atopic App should in no way take the place of medical advice or treatment.

Please read the conditions required to check in using the Atopic App.

Atopic dermatitis research is ongoing and certainly showing positive results. But to fully understand the mechanism of the onset and development of this disease, what factors usually trigger flare-ups, what treatment measures are most effective and get some more answers, researchers need as much data as possible.

Which is why every time you take photos using the Atopic App, enter data on skin care products or note contacts with triggers of flare-ups, you contribute to a better understanding of the mechanism and specifics of AD, the improvement of existing ones and development of new, more effective solutions for everyone with atopic dermatitis who needs to improve their skin.

By using the Atopic App (website and/or iOS / Android app), you consent to the collection and analysis of data in an anonymous form, which can be used by doctors, scientists and researchers to further study the disease profile and find new ways to treat atopic dermatitis.

By creating an Atopic App account, you authorize us to use the photos you upload to the app to further train an AI model in order to improve the accuracy of the algorithms and recognition results.

By using the Atopic App to improve your well-being or those of your loved ones with AD, you make your bit for research and help to shape a new quality of life for millions of others with atopic dermatitis.

This section describes which data we collect and what we collect it for so that you can ensure that the privacy of Atopic App users is not just important to us but a priority.
