#168: From Fragmented Care to Connected Care: The MS360° Approach with Dr. Isabel Voigt

In this episode, Dr. Isabel Voigt from the MS Center Dresden introduces the MS360° approach, a digital-first hybrid care model designed to make multiple sclerosis care more continuous, proactive, and personalized. She explains why today's MS care can feel fragmented, how important changes may be missed between appointments, and how digital tools such as apps, wearables, patient-reported outcomes, and telemedicine could support earlier detection of disease progression. We also talk about the role of real-world data, artificial intelligence, digital twins, and patient participation in shaping the future of MS care. A special focus is placed on improving access to specialized care for people living outside larger cities.
