Skinuvita has made it its mission to provide people with chronic skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis with an effective and safe light therapy that they can use in the comfort of their own home – supported by digital infrastructure and medical monitoring.
Jan talks about his personal journey: as a sufferer, he is familiar with the restrictions of regular doctor visits and long journeys. The idea for Skinuvita arose from this everyday pressure – and developed over years into a certified medical device with an app, device and medical support.
In conversation with Rasmus, Jan discusses the hurdles that health startups in Germany have to overcome: lengthy studies, regulatory requirements, data protection, technical security – and the skepticism of many players in the healthcare system. Find out how Skinuvita was still able to convince partners in dermatology and health insurance companies in this episode.
Another topic: the role of digitalization and AI. Jan describes how modern technology helps to evaluate therapy data, control dosages, and visualize treatment progress. At the same time, Skinuvita stays close to the patient – and to the doctors, who are centrally involved in the treatment process.
Finally, Jan talks about the future: What other applications are conceivable? What vision does Skinuvita have beyond phototherapy? And what advice does he have for other founders looking to get started in digital health? This episode provides valuable insights for anyone working at the intersection of health and technology.
