Project description
A digital monitoring solution for multiple sclerosis
Conventional diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) is based on magnetic resonance imaging, physical and cognitive evaluations. However, these diagnostic methods are often inefficient in depicting the extent of the illness. Scientists have developed a digital solution for the remote monitoring of patient symptoms that gives a greater understanding of the disease in addition to assisting with treatment and patient well-being. Moreover, this technology can be easily adapted for the monitoring of other neurological or neurodegenerative diseases. Under the EU-funded dreaMS project, scientists will develop a business strategy and identify the technological needs necessary for the commercialisation of their solution.
Objective
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis is based on neurologists’ assessment using a combination of tools: MRI, physical and cognitive
assessments and patient reported symptoms. It is well accepted that current tools do not paint a proper picture of the patient illness leading to the need of additional insights into patient symptoms. dreaMS aims to be the 1st digital solution for patient with MS providing digital biomarkers to help with diagnosis, prognosis and treatment choice. The solution supports both patients and providers, allowing for more precise treatment strategies and continuous monitoring, resulting in improved patient outcomes and well-being. Our technology is easy scalable to other diseases treatment (like Alzheimer, schizophrenia, or any neurological illness)
The global MS treatment market was valued at $16.13 Billion in 2016, and is expected to reach $27.38 Billion by 2025, driven by the continued uptake of premium products and an increase in treatment rates because of the availability of novel alternatives based on digital solutions. dreaMS will enter to the European digital biomarkers market, which is facing major changes that will reshape the competitive environment for solution vendors and service providers during the coming years.
Our key users will be neurologists and MS patients that will use the dreaMS technology. Additionally, because dreaMS benefits among value chain (both users and buyers) we will guarantee a global impact. Phase 1 will center on preparing a feasibility study. This will include the following activities: full identification and characterization of our target market, design of the internationalization and business development strategy, definition of technological needs and product validation, identification and clearance of legal issues and definition of our IPR strategy, and finally, design of the finance strategy and a business plan. We plan to use SMEI-1 to identify interested buyers to take part in demonstrations in SMEI-2.
