Perceived usefulness of digital self-tracking among people with multiple sclerosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

Self-care technologies may support patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) in their everyday disease management by enabling self-monitoring of various health indicators, such as symptom levels and physical activity levels. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of tracking self-selected MS- and health-related measures via a digital self-tracking tool for people with MS (PwMS) over a period of six weeks.
