Description:

Treatment of actinic keratosis (early skin cancer) with light emitting smart textiles instead of rigid big light panels.

Overview: 
This is a prospective, comparative (intra-individual, split-face), randomized, open and bi-centric study to compare a new light emitting device to the current standard of care.

Objectives: 
The aim of the study is to evaluate the non-inferiority and the tolerance of the new PHOS-ISTOS?device, to treat actinic keratosis of the scalp and the forehead (PHOS-ISTOS?PDT) compared to the MAL -PDT Conventional (C-PDT).

Initiatives: 
Solid clinical trial on the test of a device with the potential to improve the quality of life of patients with actinic keratosis (a chronic skin disease).
Shortcomings: 
Very specific healthcare related initiative.
