Legit.Health and AEDV

2021 has been a pivotal year for Legit.Health. The company has grown tremendously out of its humble origins, adding to its roster talented and committed professionals that have put their all to make the next chapter of dermatology possible.

We have been rewarded and recognized for our work by several prestigious medical and business organizations, proving that the faith we put in a modern, value based, medicine is shared by many.

But most importantly, we have reached many more medical centres, and thus patients, all over Europe, allowing us to not only take part in numerous groundbreaking clinical trials, but to help doctors help their patients.

A year of recognition

One of the main highlights of this year would be the recognition given to us by several medical organizations.

The Spanish Dermatology and Venereology Academy (AEDV) awarded our work in the research of automatic scoring systems for Psoriasis, renewing our intent to keep adding to the scientific knowledge about skin diseases by putting our cutting-edge technology at the service of revolutionary clinical trials.

Other awards recognizing Legit.Health's drive towards growth and progress would be the CEBEK Emprende award and the Quality Innovation award, both highlighting our work in creating a more modern dermatology.

The foundation Ship2B also recognized our dedication to be a company with a social impact, focused on improving the life of our users. This drive has also granted us the European Patient Digital health award, a recognition that fills us with pride.

A year of growth

2021 has been an incredible year of growth for the company in all aspects.

We have incorporated into our team an array of hard-working professionals, coming from all sorts of backgrounds, from talented freelancers to people with experience in big multinational companies.

We have also joined forces with big partners such as DKV, Novartis or Rivera Salud to bring Legit.Health's technology directly to the hands of doctors and patients. As it can be seen with our campaign to raise awareness about skin cancer or our participation in the Barcelona Health Hub Summit, we have increased our scope tenfold from last year.

A year of innovation

One of our main focuses is, and always has been, to add to the scientific knowledge and push the state of the art of dermatology to a new level.

Our team of Artificial Intelligence experts has worked shoulder to shoulder with dermatologists and doctors in cutting edge clinical trials, not only to prove scientifically that our algorithmic technology works, but to show the scientific community that the future of medicine is irrevocably linked to AI.

As an example, this year we have made public two in-depth studies about the AI assisted diagnosis of Psoriasis and Hidradenitis Supurativa respectively, both of them will be published in scientific papers during 2022.

Lastly, we continue to closely work with patients and patient associations to better understand the reality they face when diagnosed with a cutaneous disease. We take a patient centric approach to the development of our app, and we are taking further steps every day to help doctors help their patients in a more efficient and humane way.

What does the future hold for Legit.Health?

As we enter into 2022, our teams are already working in the next new and exciting updates to both our product and the field of dermatology.

We want next year to be focused around patients, doctors, and their relationship; and we plan on releasing several real success stories of patients and doctors whose lives have been improved by Legit.Health.

Of course, we have a renewed commitment to add to the state of the art of medicine, developing the newest computer vision algorithms. We are proud to say that we are working on expanding our expertise into issues like facial paralysis or disciplines like trichology, as well as continue expanding our knowledge of dermatology.

We are excited about the new year, and we couldn't be happier about sharing it with all the doctors, patients, medical centres and companies that put their trust in us. Without you, Legit.Health wouldn't be possible.

That's why the Legit.Health team wants to wish you a Happy New Year.

In an event that will be remembered as a turning point for dermatological science, the 48th congress of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV) in Bilbao was not only a gathering of minds but also a showcase of cutting-edge advancements in the field. A beacon of progress and resilience, this congress was the first major dermatology event in the post-pandemic era, illustrating the relentless pursuit of medical innovation.

Hosting over 300 global experts, this congress became a melting pot of ideas, fostering discussions on pivotal topics like psoriasis and teledermatology. Yolanda Gilaberte, vice president of the AEDV, highlighted the enhanced role of teledermatology accelerated by the pandemic, alongside the prospective transformations brought by artificial intelligence in skin disease identification.

Spotlight on Legit.Health: Advancing Dermatological Care

Among the esteemed participants, Legit.Health emerged as a frontrunner in medical imaging, receiving accolades for its innovative use of deep learning algorithms in the "Automatic calculation of the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)." This breakthrough underlines Legit.Health's dedication to enhancing patient care and revolutionizing the diagnosis and management of chronic skin diseases.

In a significant advancement for Hidradenitis Suppurativa management, Legit.Health also presented the AIHS4: "Automation of the International Scoring System of the Gravity of Hidradenitis Suppurativa."

Empowering doctors and patients through technology

The congress highlighted the pivotal role of technology in modern medicine, especially in dermatology. Legit.Health, a startup born with the mission to improve the lives of doctors and patients, showcased its innovative platform — the first to support clinical diagnosis with AI algorithms capable of assisting in diagnosis and severity assessment.

Andy Aguilar, general director of Legit.Health and a patient with chronic skin diseases, emphasized that technology should always serve humanity, aiding doctors to reach new heights in patient care.

A pioneering technology in dermatology that is already used in several hospitals, including Cruces and Basurto Hospitals, among others. In addition to its work on the automatic estimation of the severity of psoriasis, Legit.Health, has presented another publication about the state of the art of the automation of the scoring system for hidradenitis suppurativa, the AIHS4: "Automation of the International Scoring System of the Gravity of Hidradenitis Suppurativa "

Do you want to see the clinical AI technology in action?

Skin diseases change the lives of those who suffer from them. For this reason, this pioneering algorithmic technology has begun what is already an extensive collaboration with doctors, researchers and hospitals to create this artificial intelligence tool; although as its founders point out: "Our diagnostic algorithms never replace the doctor, but rather provide valuable information to make a clinical decision".
