Abstract
A mobile phone based telemonitoring system for long term psoriasis therapy is described intended to increase patients compliance by optimizing the patient physician communication Patients themselves can acquire health parameters and take photos of their psoriasis lesions The data are sent to a monitoring centre where they are provided to the patients physician who returns a feed back message The system is currently tested in a study with 20 patients Preliminary results prove the feasibility and usabililty of such a system and indicate that it is useful for optimizing psoriasis therapy
