American Academy of Dermatology launches innovative project to improve outcomes for patients with hidradenitis suppurativa

Summary: The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) is starting a new project to help people with a painful skin condition called hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). HS causes painful, boil-like bumps in places like the armpits, thighs, and groin. Sadly, many people wait 7 to 10 years to find out what is wrong, which can lead to scars, severe pain, and depression. To fix this, the AAD is teaming up with Novartis and using a smart AI tool to look through medical records. This will help doctors spot the disease much earlier so patients can get the right treatment faster and stop suffering in silence.
