GUF 2022: CRUSE app | UCARE | Emerging research | Patient reported outcomes

CRUSE app

We analysed 620 patients from all around the world… it has been interesting to see patients with poorly controlled urticaria, with low UCT (Urticaria Control Test) scores are using the app. So there is really a need for the app. It is amazing that we now have a tool for patients to use.
Dr Sophia Neisinger

Professor Marcus Maurer

Dr Ivan Cherrez-Ojeda

It is a good opportunity to interchange ideas about the latest management of patients with chronic urticaria. And finally, we create a family of physicians who have only one idea; how can we improve outcomes in our patients with chronic urticaria?
Dr Ivan Cherrez-Ojeda
