Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Digital Health
  • Mobile Health Applications

Background:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a prevalent neurological disorder globally.
  • Effective self-management is crucial for controlling MS.
  • Mobile applications offer a potential avenue for enhancing MS self-management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an evidence-based mobile application for self-management of multiple sclerosis (MS).
  • To evaluate the usability and short-term impact of the developed MS self-management app.

Main Methods:

  • The study involved three phases: content preparation, app design, and evaluation.
  • Content was derived from guidelines, existing apps, and expert input.
  • The app was developed for Android and evaluated by 20 participants over three weeks.

Main Results:

  • The IDoThis app features modules for MS education, condition monitoring, and reporting.
  • 75% of participants reported improved MS self-management, while 25% noted minimal impact.
  • The majority found the app user-friendly, particularly the exercise and monitoring sections.

Conclusions:

  • The IDoThis app is a feasible, free, and accessible self-management tool for individuals with MS.
  • Future development should incorporate user expectations regarding fatigue and sleep management.
