MS sherpa Description
MS sherpa is a medical device on your phone. We measure symptoms associated with the disease multiple sclerosis (MS). By checking these regularly you can get a good insight into the course of MS in you personally.
MS Sherpa measures 3 things: walking speed, how fast your brain processes information and how MS affects your daily life.
How do we do that? During the walk test, you walk with your phone in your pocket. The phone measures how fast and how far you walk, so you get a good idea of how your walking speed is doing. Your walking speed says something about your walking ability.
In addition, we measure how quickly your brain processes information. To do this, you do a thinking task in the app, the cognition test.
Finally, you can fill in a short questionnaire in the app. These questions are about how you feel that day and how MS affects your day. This way you can keep track of how you are doing between hospital appointments.
Taking the walk test and cognition test and answering questions are a useful way to see a clear development of how you are doing after a few months. Your medical practitioner monitors the results in order to gain a good insight. With this he can guide you even better.
As a medical device, MS Sherpa is currently only available for use by prescription from a physician at a participating hospital or through participation in a clinical trial. Ask your doctor about the possibilities or contact us at www.mssherpa.nl.
Disclaimer: We would like to remind you to continue to visit a doctor in addition to using this app and to involve them in making medical decisions.
