What’s New at GRAPPA

The GRAPPA app has launched!

The GRAPPA app, available in Apple and Android formats, is free to download from the Apple store and the Google Play Store.  Designed to be used by physicians, this app includes calculators for outcome measures including treat to target with the MDA criteria, the PASI and body surface area.  It also has the psoriasis epidemiology screening tool (PEST) questionnaire to screen for PsA in patients with psoriasis and the PsA impact of disease (PsAID) calculator to measure both PsAID 9 and PsAID 12.  Until mid-2018 the app is only available in English, but in the following months it will also launch in French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (for both Portugal and Brazil), Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Japanese and Hebrew. Please check back for updates on these additional language versions.

We are very grateful for grant support from AbbVie, Eli Lilly, Novartis and Pfizer which allowed GRAPPA to complete this work.

The app is free to download to all, both GRAPPA members and non-members. Here are the links:
