MSCopilot, a new multiple sclerosis self-assessment digital solution: results of a comparative study versus standard tests.

Background And Purpose: Assessing patients' disability in multiple sclerosis (MS) requires time-consuming batteries of hospital tests. MSCopilot is a software medical device for the self-assessment of patients with MS (PwMS), combining four tests: walking, dexterity, cognition and low contrast vision. The objective was to validate MSCopilot versus the Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC).

Introduction: This work is based on the data of REALISE™, a survey conducted among 8000 European patients to identify the profiles of adult asthma patients and how these are linked with treatment adherence behaviors.

Methods: A cluster analysis was performed by combining data in three ways: control of asthma, attitude towards the disease, compliance with treatment. A multidisciplinary group analyzed the results for the 1024 French survey respondents.

[Patients with asthma: Disease control, patients' perceptions and observance. Results of the French REALISE™ survey].

Introduction: Poor adherence to treatment is a cause of inadequate asthma control and increased exacerbations. Better understanding of the factors associated with adherence could lead to recognition of appropriate solutions.

Method: An online, quantitative, self-completed questionnaire-based survey was conducted among 1024 French adults with asthma (aged 18-50years).
