Abstract

The severity and development of psoriasis is difficult to describe and discuss between patients and doctors. Such phenomenon mainly caused by traditional medical communication methods (language and pictures) cannot visually show the disease status and the comprehension largely depend on doctors' (variable) skills to describe the anomaly. In this paper, we propose a solution based on augmented reality (AR). Patients can see psoriasis develop on their face by making accurate and reliable psoriasis maps. Heuristic analysis and pilot testing of 24 participants demonstrated that the solution can significantly increase comprehension and promote the patient's willingness to receive medical support. We believe that AR can be an effective tool to assist the treatment of psoriasis.
