Introduction​

The future of dermatology has arrived thanks to Legit.Health's revolutionary application of the PASI system: APASI (Automatic Psoriasis Area and Severity Index). Using computer vision algorithms, the researchers have created a tool that processes smartphone images and automatically translates them into the domain of the PASI.

It is widely known that objective, reliable, and precise outcome measures are key to evidence-based medicine. When considering psoriasis, the PASI has the best measurement properties and is the most recommended for clinical trials. That is why we automated the PASI to help patients and doctors achieve better health outcomes.

The origins of the PASI​

This scoring system for psoriasis was first published in a paper by T. Fredericksson and U. Pettersson in 1978, where they explored the validity of a new treatment for the disease.

Healthcare provider Ribera Salud and Legit.Health started working together in one of the group's hospitals, the Torrejón Hospital, to implement the revolutionary algorithmic technology that, 2 years later, has shown excellent results.

In 2020, the healthcare provider Ribera Salud and Legit.Health started working together in one of the group's hospitals, the Torrejón Hospital, to implement the revolutionary algorithmic technology that, 2 years later, has shown excellent results thanks to the amazing job done by the doctors.

The pandemic could be a blessing in disguise, as it forced the teams to truly push the possibilities of remote care to new heights. In this particular case, the team at Torrejón Hospital needed to follow up on the patient's treatment but could not ensure all of them could go to the medical centre due to COVID-19.
