In gesprek over Netelroos
An innovative collaboration between Skin Netherlands and Novartis

Hives or urticaria
Huid Nederland and Novartis have joined forces to develop a Divi about a common skin condition: hives, also known as urticaria.
A Divi as support
Huid Nederland and Novartis have created conversation cards that support people with hives in their conversations with health care providers. To distribute this information in an accessible way, Huid Nederland and Novartis chose to incorporate the information into a Divi.
Hives is a condition characterized by itchy, raised red bumps on the skin. It can have a significant impact on quality of life, so it is essential to be well informed about the condition and available treatment options.
Developed with experts and experts by experience
Developed in collaboration with medical experts and experts by experience, the Divi contains information about hives. By using the Divi, people with hives can better prepare for discussions with health care providers. The goal is to choose the most appropriate care together with the healthcare provider.
"With the Divi, the information is presented in an understandable, visual way, making it more accessible to everyone. This helps people with hives better understand the information and make informed decisions about their health. In addition, sharing the Divi in conjunction with our conversation cards is valuable because it allows us to reach a wider audience."

The next step in collaboration
As a follow-up to this Divi, we are now working on a new Divi focused on the syndrome of hives. Together, we aim to raise awareness about hives and hope that these initiatives will have a positive impact on the lives of people dealing with these conditions.
