Philips Launches Its BlueControl 2.0

Philips has launched its second generation Philips BlueControl 2.0, a wearable medical device that uses UV-free blue LED light to control symptoms of mild to moderate cases of plaque psoriasis.

Developed based on user insights and feedback, the updated device features a larger treatment area, a more comfortable fixation strap, a thinner device and a longer battery life.

The first device was launched in the Netherlands, Germany and the UK end of last year, and France earlier this year.

The update is available in Denmark, Sweden and Finland, and will be introduced in the coming months to Poland, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland and Hong Kong. — Michael Cipriano
