The MS BioScreen started in the
UCSF MS Research Group
as the brainchild of
Dr. Stephen Hauser,
a leader in MS research, and his team of
scientists.
The backbone of the MS BioScreen depends on a
rich research infrastructure at UCSF.
When
Dr. Riley Bove
joined UCSF and the project, she decided to take it to the web. We have been generously supported by the
Hilton Foundation.
As researchers across the world develop new tools that may help patients understand their MS, we will continue to pull these into the Open MS BioScreen. The
NMSS MS Navigator Team
has worked with us to make sure that we are always putting our patients first.
Why we developed this tool
For patients
There’s a long time between visits and MS is always changing. Many people already maintain their own tracking to identify trends in their symptoms, medications, and MS events. This tool simplifies this tracking from the time between visits.
For clinicians
Clinicians can use this data to better understand the way you experience MS. If you move, you can efficiently show your new MS doctor your chart. Clinicians can also input information on their own list of patients to better monitor them over time.
