DermaTrack vs ZapPivo

Track how much you scratch while you sleep at night. By wearing an Apple Watch, you can record your scratching motions every night thanks to HealthKit and reflect on the results each morning. DermaTrack is so easy to use, that it will become part of your nightly routine as well as an excellent way to monitor your skin disease and discuss symptoms with your doctor. When you are ready to go to bed, place the Apple Watch on your wrist and start DermaTrack according to the Apple Watch onscreen instructions. When you wake up, open DermaTrack on the Apple Watch and stop the measurement according to the instructions shown on screen. In just a few minutes, you will be able to see the results of the scratching measurement on your iPhone. By pairing with an Apple Watch (Series 2 or later), you can: - Track scratching patterns while you sleep - Determine your percentage of sleep disturbance due to scratching activity - Visualize symptomatic changes by comparing your activity over time and share the results with your doctor to gain insights - Self-evaluate your night’s sleep and scratching patterns in the accompanying Embleema app.

Challenges with Existing Solutions I explored various chronic disease mobile apps to help track my symptoms, but none of them provided a way to systematically answer the nine essential questions my doctor asked. Developing a Tailored Solution As a software engineer, I decided to lead a team to create an app specifically designed to track chronic disease symptoms. Drawing from my own experience with chronic disease, we designed the application to be flexible: we can easily add new diseases by entering the relevant questions and possible responses. The app supports both single and multiple daily entries, accommodating different conditions and physician requirements. Benefits for Patients and Doctors The main advantage is that patients can record their symptoms in real time on their phones, ensuring accurate, up-to-date information. Since doctors treating chronic diseases rely on the same routine questions, patients can now generate comprehensive reports with precise details for their appointments.
