NCT ID NCT05621369
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study uses an iPhone app to track symptoms of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis in 1,000 adults. Participants complete surveys, take photos of their skin, and use phone sensors to measure joint function. The goal is to see if smartphones can reliably monitor these conditions, potentially improving remote care.
