Dermal Laboratories has launched a new educational, non-promotional mobile app called EmolliZoo which is designed to help children with eczema and their families have a better understanding of eczema, their skin and the emollients used to manage the condition.
The EmolliZoo app will allow children with eczema and their families to;
• Learn about eczema with the friendly Zookeeper and find out how she helps her animals with dry skin. All EmolliZoo educational material is accredited by the National Eczema Society.
• Set up a personalised treatment calendar which can be customised to reflect ANY emollient routine and deliver gentle therapy reminders to encourage dry skin treatment.
• Learn the correct ways to use their own emollient by helping the Zookeeper put emollients on her animals through gameplay.
• Be rewarded with stickers and certificates for applying their emollient which helps to reinforce good emollient use.
EmolliZoo contains a separate parent’s section which includes more detailed information about the skin, eczema and emollients and other useful features such as emollient-use trackers and the ability to attach notes and photos to calendar entries for discussion with healthcare professionals.
EmolliZoo is free to download from the app store as an iPhone app, which is also available on iPad and iPod Touch. To download the app, visit
www.emollizoo.co.uk via your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch and click the ‘Available on the App Store’ logo. Alternatively, to find the app in the App Store, simply type “EmolliZoo” into the search bar (select the option ‘iPhone only’ if using an iPad).
An android version of EmolliZoo will be available later in 2015.
