A new wearable device detects, with a high degree of precision, various types of visual dysfunction which eventually affects most patients with MS.
SAN DIEGO — A new wearable device detects, with a high degree of precision, various types of visual dysfunction which eventually affects most patients with multiple sclerosis .
For example, she said, the EDSS lacks sensitivity to short-term changes, depends on ambulation, and only poorly captures upper extremity disability."We know our patients are experiencing change and we know the tools we have now aren't capturing that." Graves' device, the MSight, captures afferent and efferent visual function with a single mobile brain computer interface.
She and her colleagues are testing the MSight device in clinical trials and have a provisional patent for it.Another device her team is developing detects minute changes over several months in finger and toe tap movements that are very difficult for the human eye to capture. While the devices are still in early development,"the eventual integration of such non-invasive technology that measures subtle limb muscle function has the potential to redefine clinical practice," said Gosselin.
