Development of an Adaptive Digital Health Application for Neurological Therapy Monitoring

A healthcare organization faces difficulties in providing comprehensive, adaptable digital tools for monitoring and supporting patients with neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis. Existing applications lack sufficient personalization, integration with advanced sensor devices, and compliance with regulatory standards, limiting therapy effectiveness and scalability. They also encounter challenges in analyzing complex data to support clinical decisions and enhancing patient engagement across diverse stages of therapy.
