OBJECTIVES: The objective was to develop an interactive visual tool to communicate the burden of atopic dermatitis (AD) to healthcare professionals (HCPs) and other stakeholders in Finland using the results from recent Finnish ReloAD-FIN registry study. The ultimate goal of the project is to improve the standards of care in AD as the disease is still undertreated in Finland.
METHODS: Atopic dermatitis is highly prevalent in Finland, but the burden of the disease is not fully understood, and patients are often undertreated. ReloAD-FIN registry data regarding the disease severity and comorbid conditions of AD patients was converted into an interactive visual tool using Microsoft Power BI platform. The number of patients with mild, moderate and severe AD is presented on both national and regional level. Comorbidities are clustered and visualized in easy-to-read graphs that enable quick comparisons of AD severity and associated comorbidities. The purpose of the tool is to facilitate discussions with healthcare providers and to inform them about the burden of disease. The tool enables easy tailoring of this communication to situational needs by clicking on the different sheets, graphs and charts.
RESULTS: An interactive tool was developed to communicate the burden of AD in Finland to HCPs and other stakeholders, like hospital management. The tool visualizes the number of patients with mild, moderate and severe AD in national and regional level as well as the burden of various AD-related comorbidities.
CONCLUSIONS: The development of an interactive and engaging visual tool enables effective and tailored communication on the burden of AD in Finland to local healthcare providers and demonstrates the need to improve the standards of care.
