Zoe Ryan will open up about her experience living with psoriasis.
An Offaly woman is set to feature in a new film bringing innovation in medicine to life.
Zoe Ryan, a journalist from Tullamore, will open up about her experience living with psoriasis and the hope science offers for better treatments and even cures.
The film, which launches on November 1st, is part of a campaign called Innovate For Life, run by the Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association (IPHA), the representative organisation for the research-based biopharmaceutical industry.
It documents patients' experience of living with disease and their hopes for a better quality of life through science.
When she was 18, Zoe was officially diagnosed with psoriasis. Better treatments now mean she is able the manage the condition and live a normal life.
Innovate For Life focuses on psoriasis, heart health, dementia and obesity. It features patients, scientists, doctors and community and industry leaders.
"When I was 18, I was officially diagnosed with psoriasis. For years, I struggled with the embarrassment and stigma that comes with living with a chronic condition that affects your visual appearance. But knowing that scientists are working on new answers for skin-related conditions gives me hope. I have regained my confidence. I am delighted to be part of Innovate For Life because it raises public awareness for conditions like psoriasis. The campaign shows that ongoing scientific research is constantly leading to medical advancements that allow patients, like me, to pursue their passions in life," said Zoe.
The Innovate For Life films are distributed through IPHA’s Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook channels.
