Nothing a little aquaphor and clobetasol can't fix

See, by owning the physicians group, hospital, insurance company, pharmacy, and pharmacy benefit manager all at the same time, the system is much less complex

Look for psoriasis on the body including scalp, genitals, skin folds ("inverse"), and especially nail changes.

They may have family history including also inflammatory bowel disease. HLA-B27 is common but not required

PsA can also present as tendonitis or enthesitis including carpal tunnel symptoms, Achilles pain, plantar fasciitis.

Women are even more likely to be undiagnosed and can have upper back or shoulder or neck pain or stiffness

Presenting symptoms can vary but include "inflammatory" back pain - worse in the AM, improves with activity. Can be described as "stiffness" or just "takes time to get moving"

Can't tell you how many times I'll see a 20-50yo pt for "bad dandruff" who turns out to have psoriasis + psoriatic arthritis. Seems like it happens once a week.

Frequently they have already seen another provider and the diagnosis has been missed.

The average delay to diagnosis of axSpA is like 6yr

What, you don't want to spend 6 figures to get locked in to a proprietary system that will stop functioning when the company that makes it gets bought by a competitor?

It boils down to "people will learn to love AI if we shove it down their throats hard enough". When all the use cases keep failing, don't worry, AI will just invent better use cases for us that we haven't thought of yet. The higher the valuations go, the more need there is to keep pumping.
