Phone app could revolutionize MS monitoring
NCT ID NCT05009160
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether smartphone-based challenges and surveys can reliably measure multiple sclerosis (MS) progression. Researchers will compare these digital biomarkers with standard clinical exams, brain scans, and lab tests in 300 people with MS over two years. The goal is to develop more frequent, convenient, and sensitive ways to track the disease and guide treatment decisions.
