Atopic dermatitis is one of the most widespread chronic skin diseases. Painful itching, dry skin and redness make life difficult for atopic dermatitis patients. This is where the atopic dermatitis app Nia comes in: it supports the chronically ill and their relatives day by day with fully comprehensive digital support – in addition to established therapies. In Nia, for example, potential triggers for flare-ups can be documented. Users also receive many practical tips and background knowledge on the topics of medication, nutrition, psychology and personal hygiene. The scientifically validated content is based on the renowned curriculum of AGNES e.V. The award-winning app is the most used atopic dermatitis app in German-speaking countries, as well as the first app of its kind ever to be approved as a medical device. It was launched by the Berlin-based start-up Nia Health, a spin-off of Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, in 2019.

With Sanofi Genzyme, the Nia app has another strong partner: As of now, the Specialty Care Business Unit of Sanofi is a sponsoring partner and supports the atopic dermatitis app Nia, which is approved as a class I medical device, within the scope of a sponsorship.

Founder and CEO of Nia Health, Tobias Seidl, is very excited about the commitment.

"With the financial support of Sanofi Genzyme, we can expand our patient-centred product development even further. Receiving the trust of such a successful company motivates us a lot."

Peter Kuiper, General Manager at Sanofi Genzyme GSA, explains Sanofi Genzyme’s involvement with Nia Health as follows:

"At Sanofi Genzyme, we are passionate about making the daily lives of people affected by atopic dermatitis easier. The Nia app makes a valuable contribution in guiding the individual treatment of this chronic skin condition and we are particularly pleased to be able to support here."
