DERMAP
DERMAP is a device that supports people in measuring the
evolution of their vitiligo.
Dermap is a device designed for the people with vitiligo. It is an analogical
object that allows the autonomous mapping of the vitiligo situation on the
hands, in order to keep its progress or regression under control from home.
In fact, by inserting the hand inside a preformed mask and lighting the Wood
lamps that allow you to view the spots in a clearer way, it will be possible to
trace the outlines of the latter by drawing on appropriate sheets of acetate.
The collection of the sheets, superimposed on each other in the same
position, will allow an immediate visualization of the progress of the disease.
