Brief Summary

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

The main purpose of this study is to assess the usability and value of the multiple sclerosis (MS) care management platform in terms of improved monitoring of people with MS (pwMS) in clinical practice.

This is a two-year prospective data collection study with additional data collection at baseline evaluating medical practice over a period of at least one year before the introduction of the MS care management platform.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The MS care management platform consists of:

A) icobrain ms, a cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) solution to quantify brain volume and brain abnormalities and changes thereof on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and thereby providing insights into subclinical changes during disease progression in MS.

B) icompanion ms, which consists of i) A free participant mobile application (app) and website to keep track of participant reported health and medications and prepare participants for the next consultation.

ii) A web portal for healthcare professionals (HCPs), which is accessible via web browser. The MS care team will be able to access the participants' data entered via the participant app (active linking of systems by the participant required), as well as their participants' MRI images and icobrain ms volumetric brain reports automatically imported by the hospital picture archiving and communications system (PACS).

Study Groups

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

People with RRMS

Participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) will have to complete various questionnaire from which data will be collected for patient-reported outcomes (PROs) using the icompanion patient app and the HCPs will complete various questionnaires using the icompanion HCP portal.

MS Care Platform (icobrain ms and icompanion ms)

Intervention Type DEVICE

The MS care management platform consists of the following components:

1. icobrain ms which is a a cloud-based solution to quantify brain volume and brain abnormalities and changes thereof on MRI scans;
2. icompanion ms which consists of free participant mobile application (app) and a web portal for HCPs.

The information collected in the icompanion ms patient app and icobrain ms is then brought together in the icompanion ms HCP web portal which allows a comprehensive overview of disease data for every single participant.
