Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This prospective pilot study will assess the feasibility of remote participant monitoring using digital technology in participants with MS and healthy controls. At the enrollment visit, the participants as well as the healthy controls will be provided with a remote patient monitoring solution which includes preconfigured smartphone and smartwatch. The configured smartphone and smartwatch pair will contain application software that prompts the user to perform various assessments, referred to as active tests and passive monitoring. Active tests will include Hand Motor Function Test (HMFT), gait test, static balance test, electronic version of the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (eSDMT), Mood Scale Question (MSQ), MS Impact Scale (29-item scale) (MSIS-29) questionnaire, MS Symptom Tracking (MSST). Passive monitoring will be done to collect metrics on gait and mobility throughout the daily life of participants in a continuous and unobtrusive manner.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

A: MS Participants

MS participants will perform various active tests (daily, weekly or bi-weekly) and passive monitoring (daily) using smartphone and smartwatch over 24 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Smartphone and Smartwatch

Intervention Type DEVICE

Multiple sclerosis participants and healthy controls are required to wear the smartwatch; and to carry smartphone preferably in a median position in a belt bag, or alternatively in their pocket as they go about their daily routine.

B: Healthy Controls

Healthy participants will perform various active tests (daily, weekly or bi-weekly) and passive monitoring (daily) using smartphone and smartwatch over 24 weeks.

Group Type OTHER

Smartphone and Smartwatch

Intervention Type DEVICE

Multiple sclerosis participants and healthy controls are required to wear the smartwatch; and to carry smartphone preferably in a median position in a belt bag, or alternatively in their pocket as they go about their daily routine.
