Welcome to PhotoPill.
Crohn's disease is an awful disease. Those who have it suffer greatly when the outburst hits, and are in constant stress and straggle to maintain remission, between outbursts.
Those of us lucky enough not to have Crohn's disease - rarely understand the pain and reduction in quality of life associated with it.
Our mission is to introduce a daily treatment, non-chemical, which will ease and shorten disease outburst periods and increase remission time.
PhotoPill is developing a daily treatment solution, which will be effective in both treating inflammatory outbursts, as well as postponing future episodes.
Available treatments are limited to chemical treatment (applied either as a pill or enema) and in extremely severe cases, steroids are used. Those treatments are expensive, their efficiency is limited to easing seizures, with limited capability of preventing future episodes, and have many related side effects. In over two thirds of cases, patients eventually undergo surgery, which can only be applied few times, and by itself does not serve for prevention.
PhotoPill's first application will target Crohn's disease, which will pave the way for future developments, addressing other inflammatory bowel diseases.
