< BACK iPROLEPSIS Research on Digital Rheumatology Published in The Lancet eClinicalMedicine May 19, 2025 New Publication Highlights Explainable AI Tools, Digital Biomarkers, and Multimodal Disease Monitoring for PsA A recent paper published in The Lancet eClinicalMedicine presents the iPROLEPSIS initiative as a comprehensive European research effort aimed at transforming the diagnosis and management of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) through digital innovation and patient-centred care . The paper, titled "European advances in digital rheumatology: explainable insights and personalized digital health tools for psoriatic arthritis", outlines how iPROLEPSIS addresses critical gaps in current PsA care by combining real-world data , wearable sensors , and explainable artificial intelligence (xAI) models. Abstract The shift from traditional to technology-based diagnosis and management of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) represents a significant evolution in patient care. Traditionally, PsA was diagnosed and managed through clinical evaluations, physical examinations, and basic imaging techniques. With the evolution of digital technologies, PsA care is transforming, giving rise to the field of digital rheumatology. In this vein, Europe has invested in research initiatives, like iPROLEPSIS, that could accelerate this transformation and redefine PsA care within a digital world. In this Viewpoint we present the current clinical PsA landscape, highlight the PsA patients’ interaction with the digital world, and showcase the novel iPROLEPSIS digital offerings. The latter scaffold digital rheumatology by identifying PsA key drivers. Moreover, they support personalized PsA risk prediction and improve early PsA detection. Furthermore, they enable precise PsA treatment strategies and digital therapeutics within a novel digital health ecosystem.
