Inclusive Platform

A web-based software is used to collect data from dermatological specialists around the world. The software supports multiple languages and is accessible on desktop and mobile devices.

To ensure data consistency, standardized electronic Case Report Forms (eCRF) are used. By collecting data for different levels of context, we make it easy for as many specialists as possible to participate.
