> AI-powered dermatology platform that connects the dots between your skin condition and thousands of potential triggers to help you achieve lasting change.

## About

- **Company:** Proton Health Ltd
- **Product:** Symphony Skin
- **Tagline:** Dermatology That Finally Asks Why
- **Founded:** 2020
- **Location:** 7 Bell Yard, London, England, WC2A 2JR, United Kingdom
- **Website:** https://www.proton-health.com
- **Email:** hello@proton-health.com

## Co-Founders

- **Dr. Haroon Ahmad, MD** - Co-Founder. Medical doctor with 27 years of personal experience managing severe eczema. Practiced as a doctor before co-founding Symphony to help others identify the triggers he'd missed for decades—a mix of dietary, skincare, and environmental triggers hiding in plain sight.
- **Dr. Niall Jawad** - Co-Founder

## What We Do

Symphony Skin turns the chaos of living with a skin condition into clarity. We're trained on millions of dermatology cases to help you find the root cause of your flares.

The medical system treats skin conditions as something to manage, not cure. We're building something different: a platform that learns from millions of cases, finds patterns unique to you, and connects to real expertise when you need it.

We're not promising a cure. But we're proving that far more people can find lasting relief than the current system allows.

## Conditions We Support

Symphony is built for chronic skin conditions where understanding your triggers matters most:

1. **Eczema** (Atopic Dermatitis)
2. **Acne** (including hormonal acne, cystic acne)
3. **Psoriasis**
4. **Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW)**

These are the conditions where the traditional "here's a cream, see you in 3 months" approach fails hardest.

## Core Features

### 360° Skin Assessment
Comprehensive analysis of photos, symptoms, lifestyle, mental health, diet, and products. Everything needed to truly understand your skin.

### Pattern Intelligence
Symphony finds the connections everyone else misses—stress, sleep, products, weather—and shows you what's actually affecting your skin. 92% of members discover at least one new trigger within 7 days.

### Personalized Care Plans
Skincare, diet, lifestyle, and mental wellbeing recommendations for your unique skin profile. With dermatology consultations, gut and skin microbiome testing, and full lab panels when you want to go deeper.

### Mental Wellbeing Sessions
50+ sessions for social anxiety, the itch-scratch cycle, breaking negative mirror habits, handling low self-esteem, and much more.

### Product and Diet Analysis
Thousands of products. Every ingredient. Analyzed against your skin profile so you know what might work—before you waste money or trigger a flare.

### Control Your Skin
Personalized lessons on your condition, triggers, and what's actually going on so that you can finally take control.

## How Symphony is Different

### vs. Traditional Dermatology
Traditional dermatology gives you 7 minutes every few months. Your dermatologist sees a snapshot. Symphony sees the full picture—what you ate, how you slept, what products you used, how stressed you were—and connects it to how your skin responded. We're not replacing your dermatologist. We're giving them (and you) context they'd never otherwise have.

### vs. Telehealth Apps
Most telehealth apps are just video calls with doctors who don't know your history, offering templated advice. Symphony is different—it's an AI that learns your complete skin story and provides personalized guidance 24/7, backed by specialists who review your case. Think of it as a personal trainer for your skin, not just another appointment booking app.

### vs. AI Skincare Apps
Most "AI skincare" apps take a photo, run it through a basic algorithm, and recommend products they get commission on. They're not trying to help you understand your skin—they're trying to sell you things. Symphony doesn't work that way. We analyze your symptoms, lifestyle, stress, diet, and products over time to find patterns unique to you. We don't sell skincare products directly, and our recommendations are based on your data—not affiliate deals.

## Our Philosophy

"You are not your illness. You have an individual story to tell. You have a name, a history, a personality. Staying yourself is part of the battle."
— The late Julian Seifter, MD. Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School

## Target Audience

Symphony is designed for people living with chronic skin conditions who want to:
- Understand why their skin flares, not just treat symptoms
- Track their patterns consistently (a few minutes a day)
- Get personalized product and diet recommendations based on their unique triggers
- Finally see how their skin actually responds to their life—stress, sleep, products, food, weather
- Go beyond "here's a cream" to find lasting relief

Whether you're just starting your skin journey or you've "tried everything," Symphony gives you the tools to connect the dots.

Symphony might not be the best fit if you're looking for:
- An instant cure or overnight miracle
- A single appointment without ongoing tracking or support
- Apps that just want to sell you products (we analyze products against your data—we don't sell them)

## Medical Disclaimer

Symphony's AI and tracking tools are not a replacement for medical advice—they help you understand patterns in your own data, but they don't diagnose or prescribe. That said, we know insights alone aren't always enough. That's why our Premium tier includes referrals to specialist dermatology consultations, gut and skin microbiome testing, and comprehensive lab panels—actual specialists who review your Symphony data. The app gives you context and understanding. When you need clinical expertise, we connect you with professionals who understand your story.
