"Using Google Maps Timeline to Track and Improve Walking Ability in Multiple Sclerosis"
A study suggests that using the Google Maps Timeline tool in the smartphone app may help doctors remotely monitor fatigue, walking ability, and disease severity in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The tool records daily walking distance and time, providing estimates of daily walking activities and self-perceived symptoms. The study found that most of these measurements were significantly linked to disease-related measures, making Google Maps Timeline a promising tool for monitoring walking abilities in MS patients.
