Skin Barrier
Assessment
Advancing Skin Barrier Science
The skin barrier plays a crucial role in protecting against environmental stressors and maintaining hydration. Nevisense enables objective, non-invasive assessment of barrier function in research settings.
Why Nevisense
-
Objective, quantitative skin barrier assessment -
Track treatment efficacy and barrier recovery over time -
Non-invasive, painless and repeatable measurements
Quantitative skin health data
Using EIS, Nevisense measures subtle changes in the skin’s bioelectrical properties that reflect skin structure and barrier integrity. This provides quantitative data for studying conditions such as atopic dermatitis and dry skin, as well as monitoring barrier recovery (Ref. 1).
Measurements across multiple clinically relevant frequencies provide information associated with:
• Tissue structure and organization
• Cell membrane integrity
• Cellular orientation
• Tight junction integrity
• Moisture compartmentalization
• Water loss
• Extracellular composition
• Changes associated with barrier disruption and inflammation


Tracking treatment efficacy
Clinicians and researchers can monitor how therapies impact barrier status over time. Nevisense has shown potential in multiple barrier-related indications and is currently being used in research areas such as:
• Flare prediction
• Disease severity
• Disease prediction
• Ex vivo testing
• Treatment efficacy

Supporting dermatology and allergy research
Nevisense provides objective, quantitative data on skin-barrier integrity. It supports researchers and healthcare professionals studying how skin conditions, environmental exposures and treatments affect barrier function over time (Ref. 2).

Non-invasive and repeatable testing
Nevisense measurements are non-invasive and easy to repeat, ideal for longitudinal studies and sensitive patient populations such as infants (Ref. 3).
