Case Study: Cardiff University achieves scalable digital dermatology tracking with DabApps

Cardiff University launches multilingual DLQI app for patients worldwide with DabApps

DabApps partnered with Cardiff University to address the challenges of its paper-based Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaires. These forms were inefficient, difficult to track over time, and dependent on in-person consultations, which limited patient visibility and put a strain on clinical resources. The university needed a modern, scalable digital solution to improve global accessibility and usability while preserving clinical integrity.

DabApps designed and built a mobile-first digital application to replace the paper forms. The solution included tailored assessment journeys for adults and children, multilingual support, and features allowing patients to track their progress over time. This resulted in a more patient-centred approach, reducing administrative overhead and enabling consistent patient monitoring between appointments. The vendor's work created a scalable, globally accessible platform that supports more informed, data-driven clinical care.
