Episode 46: Using Data & Technology to Improve MS Care with Michelle Mitchell, CEO of MS Society UK

We take advantage of digital tools every day to make our lives easier. But when it comes to managing our health, there's still a long way to go. That's why the MS Society in the UK commissioned a report titled "Improving Care for People with MS: The Potential of Data & Technology". That report has just been published, and we're discussing some of the observations and recommendations contained in this remarkable report with my special guest, Michelle Mitchell, CEO of the MS Society in the UK.     We're also talking about a new artificial intelligence-based data analysis platform that can diagnose MS sooner than traditional diagnostic methods, with 90% accuracy. We'll tell you about a new poll that shows that the overwhelming majority of American voters support protecting the rights of people with pre-existing medical conditions, in spite of the Justice Department's efforts to remove those protections. We're taking a look at new research that could change the game when it comes to myelin repair. And we'll tell you about two different MS research studies that are recruiting participants to complete a 15-minute online survey.   We have a lot to talk about.
