20 Availability & Frequency (2) Available AFTER ACTIVATION BY NEUROLOGIST/NURSE HADS Miction Inventory If sub-score > 8, then alert on dashboard for neurologist/nurse 20
21 Smart Phones & Tablets Smart phones: selective use of MSmonitor - E-consult - Diaries - Short questionnaires - Screening Tablets: full use of MSmonitor - incl. long questionnaires Symptoms may interfere with use of smart phone! 21
22 Descriptive Statistics PwMS registered by neurologist or nurse (90%) PwMS started using MSmonitor: selective participation rate - 89 PwMS: latest use > 1.5 years ago = 19% of active users ( attrition rate?) - 13 hospitals (actually 15 hospitals) - 60% overall participation rate 22
23 Data Analysis 1) Retrospective analysis of MFIS-5, LMSQoL and Activities Diary data (N=56) Hypothesis: Combined use of MFIS-5, LMSQoL and Activities Diary is associated with decrease in fatigue and increase in HRQoL (Self-management of fatigue) 2) Survey of PwMS (N=55), Neurologists and Nurses (N=13) (Version 1.0) 23
24 Self-management of Fatigue PwMS who had used the MFIS-5, LMSQoL and Activities Diary at least twice in a 6-month period showed an increase in HRQoL (mean +13%) (P=0.0002) compared to those who had completed the MFIS-5 and LMSQoL, but not the Activities Diary, at least twice in a 6-month period 24
25 PwMS Survey: Advantages - Regular overview of all symptoms and problems insight - Easier to start conversation with neurologist/nurse - More items discussed with neurologist/nurse - Direct mail contact (e-consult) - Forced reflection - Medical file in spite of infrequent out-patient visits - Look back - Better preparation for out-patient visits - Contact with Dutch professionals in spite of living abroad 25
26 PwMS Survey: Disadvantages - Sometimes too tiring - Repeatedly same questions, whereas situation is stable - Too complicated - Activities Diary too general - Confronting - Impossible to answer Not Applicable - Forget to look at - No space for free text - Monthly completion is too frequent - Log in procedure Mean overall satisfaction (N=55) (0-10): % would recommend MSmonitor to other PwMS 26
