Atopic dermatitis is a chronic disease with a high impact on patient's quality of life. Nocturnal pruritus is one of the main symptoms affecting quality of life. Treatment efficacy is generally measured by healthcare professionals during consultations with both questioning and visual examination of the lesions. Quality of Life (QoL) can also be evaluated retrospectively with the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) scale. Collecting data retrospectively introduces a significant recall bias that can be addressed by collecting data in Real World (RW). Real World data collection is prospective and take place within the patient's own environment. While data collection is generally done with diaries, it has been demonstrated that smartphone and connected devices were able to produce more precise and granular data than traditional methods.
The main objective of the study is to demonstrate a medical hypothesis using a wristband actigraph: patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis have a poorer quality and quantity of sleep than healthy subject. Secondary objetives are to assess the interest of a smartphone application in evaluating the quality of life of patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in regard of those of healthy volunteers.
