Adherence to long-term treatment in chronic diseases such as multiple sclerosis is challenging. Many disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) for MS need to be injected. Injection devices may improve satisfaction with the injection procedure and boost adherence. Meeting patients' needs in handling and design of autoinjectors and other supporting elements may be key to successful therapy. The BETACONNECT™ system is a platform-based approach in DMD therapy. It combines autoinjector technology with digital tools to support patient self-management and facilitate communication between patients and healthcare providers. Here, we describe the components of the BETACONNECT system and review data on patients' satisfaction with the BETACONNECT autoinjector and how it compares to other devices. Additionally, we present first data on patients' satisfaction with the myBETAapp™.

Background: Beyond physical health, managing type 1 diabetes (T1D) also encompasses a psychological component, including diabetes distress, that is, the worries, fears, and frustrations associated with meeting self-care demands over the lifetime. While digital health solutions have been increasingly used to address emotional health in diabetes, these technologies may not uniformly meet the unique concerns and technological savvy across all age groups.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the mental health needs of adolescents with T1D, determine their preferred modalities for app-based mental health support, and identify desirable design features for peer-delivered mental health support modeled on an app designed for adults with T1D.
