GOLD AWARD
Brightworks Interactive Marketing and Bayer
The Eczema App

This free mobile app provides eczema patients and parents of children who suffer from eczema with condition information, support and tools. It was created for Bayer Dermatology on a $100,000 budget. Primarily an unbranded app, it does include a downloadable coupon for Bayer’s topical treatment Desonate.

“This is a well constructed app that provides multiple tools for managing a difficult disease and supports the brand well,” commented one judge.

Another thought the app would be well-received given its “crisp and beautiful” design and “strong functionality.”
The National Eczema Association helped create content. The app lets ­users self-segment into one of the two audience groups—­patients suffering from mild to moderate eczema and parents of children with eczema­–and it provides a unique experience for each.

The agency says a photo-based eczema “trigger tracker” is one of the app’s most important features. Market research showed many parents were frustrated because they felt their physician wasn’t taking them seriously or that they were overstating the severity of their child’s condition. The trigger tracker counters this by letting parents create a visual timeline of the flare-up, track its location and generate a report for their doctor.

Within 60 days of launch, the app had nearly 800 downloads, which the agency reported is significant given the specialized audience. Downloads topped 1,600 by April 11, 2013.

In a focus group of mothers of children with eczema conducted in December 2012 by Mom Central Consulting, 90% rated the app as “good” to “excellent” for quality of information, and 88% rated it as “good” to “excellent” for usefulness of content.
