UV-Snap®

Inflammation may be a significant threat to the structure and health of your facial skin. During youth and young adolescence, Acne is especially responsible for inflammation among 80 % of all youngsters. This may result in premature aging of the skin. In serious cases, Acne could also cause severe scarring and inelasticity of the facial skin. During adulthood, the inflammatory skin disease, Rosacea, could cause permanent damage to the elastic structures of your face, and cause redness and chronic redness (visible red or blue vessels) on the cheeks and forehead.

As you get older, other causes of inflammation may harm the skin, e.g. Solar Keratosis, also known as sun damaged skin. Solar Keratosis are small scaly red patches, typically situated on the most exposed areas of your face, such as the forehead, cheeks, nose and temples. Solar Keratosis has a tendency to be chronic and does not vanish with the aid of skin care or sun protection. They are indicators of accelerated aging of the skin, induced by sun exposure, and may even sometimes represent the early stages of skin cancer.

Inflammation of the skin can be difficult to spot, but the use of a camera using Ultraviolet light (UV-light), can visualize inflammation of your skin, such as Acne, Rosacea, and sun damage. Biudee has developed the UV-Snap®, which is a simulated UV-photography of your face, helping you to visualize and detect different types of inflammation.

Inflammation of your skin will stand out as black dots and areas on the UV-Snap photo. With the UV-Snap you take a “selfie” and the UV-Snap will generate a UV-simulated photo. Drag-and-drop circles, localized on the upper part of the screen in order to mark the black colored spots and dots on the UV-Snap photo of your face. Choose elements which do not represent simple shadows, moles, eyes or hair when compared to the original photo. By this, UV-snap will calculate the number and the extent of inflammatory spots in your face. Biudee will save the results of your UV-Snap analysis, making it available for comparison to previous or future results. By anonymously sharing these data with the Biudee Research Program, you will provide a valuable contribution to help us understand the nature and development of inflammatory changes.

Wrinkles and facial aging

Over time the elasticity of the connective tissue, supporting the skin of our face, will be impaired, and signs of aging will relentlessly appear. The speed and extent of this process depends on a variety of factors, all dealt with by Biudee.

As you mark the severity of wrinkles, blemishes (pigment spots) and redness of your face, Biudee creates a kind of diary, where you keep track of how your skin responds to your personal lifestyle and anti-aging measures.

These data are anonymously shared with the Biudee project in order to establish a substantial amount of knowledge based on thousands of observations from all the users of the Biudee App. In turn, this will enable you to benefit from the entire Biudee project, designed according to the concept of “Citizen Science” and it will guide you with an ever increasing precision on how to preserve your skin and share with you how it develops compared to an average person with your skin type.
