Episode 3
What is the promise of Artificial Intelligence and Real-World Data in MS?
Imagine a world where MS management is no longer a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather a personalized and tailored experience. In this third episode, we unveil how the integration of advanced technologies is paving the way for a new era of MS care.
According to Prof. Dr. Gavin Giovannoni and PD Dr. Benjamin Friedrich, the importance of listening to the patient and understanding their needs is fundamental. Benjamin Friedrich emphasizes the value of patient feedback and the opportunity for new technology, stating: “In my personal experience, patients have often been very good at telling you when something has changed. You can't measure it objectively, but they are adamant and say, 'No, something has changed. Something is different.' I think technology will really aid us in identifying and tracking those very subtle changes over time."
In this episode, Prof. Dr. Gavin Giovannoni from the Queen Mary University of London and Blizard Institute, along with PD Dr. Benjamin Friedrich, Co-Founder & Chief Medical Officer of Temedica and board certified neuroradiologist, discuss the following key topics:
- Current MS Research Challenges: Understanding the pathophysiology of MS; addressing the complexities in diagnosis and treatment taking into account the heterogeneity of the disease.
- Unlocking the power of RWD: Harnessing data from diverse sources like electronic health records and mobile devices to drive comprehensive insights and ultimately optimize treatment approaches.
- Impact of AI: Utilizing AI for predictive analytics in disease progression and treatment responses, improving imaging and diagnostics for earlier detection, and exploring future trends in advanced predictive models and real-time patient monitoring.
- Ethical Considerations: Ensuring data privacy and security, addressing biases in AI algorithms, and emphasizing the augmentation of clinician expertise with technology.
Explore the episode now to discover how AI and RWD are reshaping the future of MS care.
