Modeling multiple sclerosis using mobile and wearable sensor data.

ABSTRACT: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease of the central nervous system that is the leading cause of non-traumatic disability in young adults. Clinical laboratory tests and neuroimaging studies are the standard methods to diagnose and monitor MS. However, due to infrequent clinic visits, it is fundamental to identify remote and frequent approaches for monitoring MS, which enable timely diagnosis, early access to treatment, and slowing down disease progression. In this work, we investigate the most reliable, clinically useful, and available features derived from mobile and wearable devices as well as their ability to distinguish people with MS (PwMS) from healthy controls, recognize MS disability and fatigue levels. To this end, we formalize clinical knowledge and derive behavioral
