POEM
The POEM is a brief, patient-administered severity measure for atopic dermatitis that focuses on frequency of symptoms experienced over the past week. Developed by Charman, Venn, and Williams in 2004, it emphasizes the patient's lived experience rather than clinician observation, making it practical for routine clinical practice and remote monitoring. POEM is increasingly used alongside objective measures in clinical trials and outpatient care.
