Its FDA-cleared, natural light therapy solution shifts dermatological care from the clinic to the controlled convenience of home, keeping physicians and their patients with chronic skin conditions connected with personalized data and insights. Patients can self-administer clinically proven, American Academy of Dermatology guideline recommended narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy using a handheld device and smartphone app. Prescription dosing is controlled via secure cloud-based technology, and patients are also remotely monitored and given personal coaching and support throughout their treatment journey.
