Introduction

The future of measuring urticaria is now within hands reach. Measuring the score of urticaria and hives is easier and more reliable than ever thanks to Legit.Health's revolutionary AUAS (Automatic Urticaria Activity Score). The researchers have developed a tool that processes smartphone images and automatically analyses them using the same criteria as the UAS7.

Is widely known that objective, reliable, and precise outcome measures are key to the practice of evidence-based medicine. The UAS7 has proven to have the best measurement properties and is the most recommended for use in clinical trials when considering urticaria.
