We are thrilled to announce the winners of the Speak the Same Language in PsA Challenge!
This challenge sought ideas on how to improve the dialogue between psoriatic arthritis patients and their rheumatologists to enable effective disease diagnosis and treatment.
We are absolutely thrilled with the overwhelming response and quality of submissions. Ideas ranged from mobile applications connected to wearable devices capable of tracking symptoms on a latent manner to voice recognition algorithms that allows patients to clearly communicate PsA symptoms to their HCP. We are also very happy with the variety of backgrounds of the teams that came from all over the world to solve our problem.
