A Closed Loop, Doctor to Patient, Mobile Application for Depression in People With Multiple Sclerosis

Active Not RecruitingNA

Sponsor: University of California, San Francisco

Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis, MS, Depression

Interventions: MS CATCH

Countries: United States

The researchers want to find out if an electronic application called MS CATCH can enhance patients' and doctors' experiences during and in between clinical visits. MS CATCH is a smartphone-based tool which allows patients to enter their mood related symptoms at regular intervals, which is then available to their Neurologist in their electronic medical record. The neurologist is also able to view additional information from their medical record, and receives alerts for changes reported by the patient that raise concern for the patient's mental health.
