Primaire uitkomstmaten
- Fatigue: mobile application metrics and clinical outcomes (FSS, Fatigue Severity Scale; CIS20R, Checklist Individual Strength; and MFIS, Modified Fatigue Impact Scale).<br>
- Disease activity: mobile application metrics (NeuroKeys and Mijn Kwik) and clinical outcomes (occurrence of MS relapse, MRI-lesions). <br>

Achtergrond van het onderzoek
The main objective of this study is to explore the use of two mobile software applications (apps) for their use to measure fatigue, disease activity and disease progression in multiple sclerosis. The apps uses built-in sensors of the smartphone to measure eye movement and keystroke dynamics. The sensor data will be compared with clinical measures obtained during five clinical visits over the course of one year.
Doel van het onderzoek
Fatigue is a common symptom in multiple sclerosis (MS) leading to diminished ability to work, decrease in social activities and quality of life. Available measuring methods for fatigue are limited due to the often obtrusive and subjective nature of assessment, and restrictions based on time interval between measurements. The same applies to assessment of disease activity and disease progression in MS. To circumvent these limitations, two performance-based software applications have been developed to quantify changes in the day-to-day setting using built-in sensors of conventional smartphones.
