Planning

Data collection ongoing.

 

This study is funded by (OP) ERDF East Netherlands.

 

MSSM (MS)

Goal

In this study the primary aim is to evaluate the effectiveness, in terms of self-efficacy control and quality of life, and the cost-effectiveness of self-monitoring based management of MS through the use of the MS sherpa app compared to care as usual without MS sherpa.

Study group

Planning

Protocol approved by METC, recruitment ongoing.

 

This study is funded by Nationaal MS Fonds and NWO.

APPS MS (MS)

Goal

Develop and explore measuring methods using built-in sensors of conventional smartphones and wearables to quantify fatigue, disease activity and progression in a day-to-day setting in patients with MS.

Study group

N=125, 100 persons with MS, 25 healthy controls, collaboration with Amsterdam UMC, last patient visited in February 2021.

Planning

In data analysis phase, scientific publications in preparation.
