Patient journey maps are not a novelty in healthcare. Typically crafted by big players as flowcharts, tracing a patient's path from symptom onset to treatment conclusion, they often prioritize business efficiency over patient experience. Patients used to navigate these paths blindly, but today they are more informed, seeking personalized paths and exploring different options.

Imagine embarking on a journey with vitiligo, starting with just a small, unassuming white spot and evolving into a complex, sometimes years-long voyage of diagnosis and treatment. This journey is a winding path filled with crossroads and pitstops, yet it often lacks clear signposts or warnings.

What's more, every journey is distinct, varying from person to person, and across different countries. Along the way, those with vitiligo might encounter a diverse range of healthcare providers – from pediatricians and GPs to mental health counselors, each with their unique approach. The journey can even differ based on gender, with men and women experiencing their own unique paths.

📍 At the Vitiligo Research Foundation, we've navigated each twist and turn of this uncharted territory to create the Vitiligo Patient Journey Map. Think of it not as a pinpoint GPS, but more as a map and compass for the curious and thoughtful. This map delves into understanding the disease and its management and appreciates how lifestyle choices are interwoven into this journey.

It's not all just serious business; we've added a dash of humor too! While the names and references on the Map are primarily tailored for a U.S. audience, we believe its core message transcends language barriers. This map is more than an informative guide; it's a connector and entertainer.

Created by the Vitiligo Research Foundation in 2022 and supported by charitable contributions from Incyte and the Aksenov Family Foundation, this map is available for download in 12 languages from the VRF website: https://vrfoundation.org/news_items/vitili....
