EMS300 Student Conference 2026

Slide 1: Digital remote monitoring of Motor Neuron Disease. A full description follows.

Summary

The presentation explores digital remote monitoring for Motor Neuron Disease (MND), highlighting the limitations of the ALSFRS-R clinical rating scale. It details a pilot study assessing the feasibility of using digital technologies to evaluate patient functioning and disease progression. Key findings indicate a correlation between handwriting features derived from iPad and stylus tasks and ALSFRS-R subscores. Thematic analysis reveals barriers and facilitators to technology adoption among participants. Recommendations include further development of remote monitoring tools to enhance patient care and longitudinal assessments.
