Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants who have atopic dermatitis or psoriasis will be asked to visit the study researchers for two in-person visits at the Princess Alexandra Hospital (Brisbane), approximately three months apart. At the first in-person visit we will obtain informed consent and administer a short demographics survey. Participants will be imaged using the VECTRA whole-body scanner (VECTRA WB360 Serial Number WB00009, Canfield Scientific Inc, Parsippany, NJ, USA), to conduct 3D total body photography to assess the severity of psoriasis and acute dermatitis at both visits.

Two study doctors will also independently provide an in-person whole body clinical consultation of the participants skin condition severity at each visit. Each visit will take approximately 90 minutes.

After both in-person visits participants will be asked to photograph their skin condition using their own smartphone camera at home using the study app and instructions provided by the research team (may be completed up to 48 hours after the visit). At the end of the study participants will be asked to complete an online survey on their experience in the study and the technologies used.

Participants will not receive any feedback or medical advice throughout the study. Throughout the study, participants are advised to follow their usual treatment regime as prescribed by their own doctors.

To investigate the level of agreement between severity assessments obtained in-clinic with remote severity assessments from 3D total-body photography and smartphone photos.
Timepoint [1] 329285 0
Baseline (visit 1 ) and 3 months (visit 2)
Secondary outcome [1] 402018 0
To assess intra- and inter-assessor reliability between clinicians

Baseline (visit 1) and 3 months (visit 2)
Secondary outcome [2] 402019 0
To examine the ability of remote assessments to detect change over time. Change over time will be assessed by the study doctors using validated questionnaire scoring tools (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), Physician's Global Assessment score, SCORAD (Scoring Atopic Dermatitis), The Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI), The Validated Investigator Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD) across the two separate timepoints.

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of 3D total-body imaging and smartphone images compared with in-person assessment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this study if you are aged 18 or over and have atopic dermatitis or psoriasis.

Study details
All participants will have three-dimensional total body photography to photograph their atopic dermatitis or psoriasis. These scans will happen at two study visits, 3 months apart. At both visits two doctors will additionally evaluate the severity of the participants' skin disease. Participants will be asked to photograph their skin disease after each visit at home using the study app and their own smartphone. At the end of the study, participants will be asked to complete a online survey asking about their experience with the technologies in the study.

It is hoped this research will improve diagnosis of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.
