This is an AI generated summary of the publication Daylight Photodynamic Therapy At Home: A Pilot Study from the Photobiology Unit, NHS Tayside and the University of Dundee.


This research article details a pilot study evaluating a home-use kit for daylight photodynamic therapy (dPDT) to treat actinic keratoses (AKs). The study assessed the kit's usability and practicality, finding it convenient for patients but highlighting the need for comprehensive training and support. While patient willingness to reuse the kit was high, efficacy varied, suggesting a need for improved patient selection and support. The kit's design incorporates sustainability principles, utilising natural sunlight and recyclable materials to minimise environmental impact and hospital visits. Future research will focus on cost-effectiveness, safety, and broader implementation.
