POEM stands for Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure:

A tool recommended by the NHS which is recognised by GPs and dermatologists
POEM helps guide you and your GP or nurse on the appropriate actions to take to help manage your eczema
By answering a few simple questions POEM monitors the severity of your eczema, based on how it has personally affected you over the past week
The app calculates a POEM score that ranges between 0 to 28, corresponding to five categories of eczema severity (clear to very severe)
So you can share how severely your eczema is ‘bothering’ you in a clearly defined way that your clinician understands and can act on

Based on the NHS and internationally recognised EASI (Eczema Area and Severity Index) scoring system:

Helps you to learn what is triggering your flare-ups so you can avoid them, as well as how to manage the flare-up
Aids appropriate and timely advice
Gives a score by body area based on intensity of skin redness, thickness, the level of scratch marks, and how leathery or lined (lichenified) the region is
You can even add in photos of the affected area and any relevant notes
The app automatically records UV and air quality in your area, as these can also affect eczema
You now have the full picture to share with your GP / nurse by email or in person, whenever you need to and from wherever you are, so that they can let you know what you need to do to get your condition back under control

Sharing and discussing your written action plan with your GP is a priceless opportunity to check that you are following your GPs advice in the way they intended
