Feasibility and Reliability of a Monitoring App for Chronic Inflammatory Neuropathies.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) are immune-mediated neuropathies characterized by muscle weakness and/or sensory deficits. Identifying treatment response, relapse, and stability can be challenging in these chronic, sometimes unpredictable, conditions. This study explores the potential of a monitoring app designed to address these challenges.

Methods

Patients were monitored weekly or monthly, based on stability and patient preference, using grip strength, modified timed-up-and go (mTUG), and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). User experience was evaluated via a questionnaire addressing content and ease of use (scale 0-10). Adherence was measured as the percentage of completed mandatory
