Article Synopsis
- Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a significant cause of disability in young adults, and traditional clinical assessments may miss subtle changes in a patient's condition over time.
- The RADAR-CNS study involved 400 MS patients monitored over 24 months using both clinical evaluations and remote data from wearable devices like Fitbits.
- Results indicated that while some patients showed disability progression based on standard scales, there wasn't a significant decline in daily steps compared to stable patients, suggesting that continuous activity monitoring could be a more sensitive measure for tracking disability in MS.
The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of automatically assessing the 2-Minute Walk Distance (2MWD) for monitoring people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). For 154 pwMS, MS-related clinical outcomes as well as the 2MWDs as evaluated by clinicians and derived from accelerometer data were collected from a total of 323 periodic clinical visits. Accelerometer data from a wearable device during 100 home-based 2MWD assessments were also acquired.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings of 148 people with Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS) and 58 with Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS) were acquired using a wearable device before, during, and after walk test performance from a total of 386 periodical clinical visits. A subset of 90 participants repeated a walk test at home.
