"Improving Adherence to MS Monitoring with Floodlight Smartphone App"

A study evaluated the use of the Floodlight Open smartphone app in monitoring functional domains in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and found that while MS patients were more likely to use the app, a significant proportion quickly stopped using it. The study highlighted the need to improve long-term engagement and adherence to digital health technologies in MS clinical care, emphasizing the importance of linking app use with clinical care to promote participation. Despite high patient engagement in a controlled clinical trial, real-world adherence remains a challenge, and further research is needed to optimize the perceived value of using the app and integrate it into MS clinical care.
