eSALT
Measurement of Alopecia Areata severity is performed through SALT score (Severity of Alopecia Tool), where baldness level is measured from standardized pictures of each side of the head.
The execution of SALT score may lead to calculation mistakes, inter and intra-investigators’ inconsistencies etc.
As we are committed to Alopecia Areata patients, we have put the effort in developing a dedicated software which clears risks of miscalculations and inconsistencies.
A description of the method can be found here
