Memory Buttons in Combination with Mobile Application-Induced Objective and Subjective Effects in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis

Figure 2

Doctors’ evaluation of objective AD severity by (a) EASI and (b) SCORAD. Patients’ own assessment of AD severity by (c) POEM (subjective) and (d) perception of Quality of Life (DLQI). Depicted is the amount of change between the two visits (time points) for each of the three groups (1: control group, no interference (n = 29); 2: intervention group, participants only received the memory buttons without the app (n = 34); 3: intervention group, participants received the memory buttons and the app (n = 20)). A significant difference was calculated (T-test) between groups 2 and 3 for EASI (); for all other comparisons between groups, no significant difference was identified. Between visits for each group, statistically significant change was found for EASI and POEM (all groups), for POEM only in group 3, and no significant change was found for DLQI.
