The LITE Training app is a mobile application to train clinicians on the collection of data for the LITE Study. The LITE study is a large, patient centered study of home vs. office-based phototherapy.

This app will be used specifically by clinicians partaking in the study. The study is aiming to determine whether home treatment is as effective as site (in-clinic) treatment for patients with psoriasis. This Training app will be used to teach clinicians how to prescreen and consent patients, collect demographic information and skin type, invite patients to the patient app, randomize patients, conduct inclusion / exclusion criteria, submit information to a shipping portal, etc. In other words, this app will teach clinicians how to conduct all of the activities and tasks they need to help their patients through the duration of the psoriasis study.

The application uses HealthKit and Apple's ResearchKit library to conduct clinical trials.
