"Wearable Technologies for Multiple Sclerosis: The Future Role of Wearable Stress Measurement in Improving Quality of Life," In the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Smart Portable, Wearable, Implantable and Disability-Oriented Devices and Systems (SPWID'16), May 2016, Valencia, Spain.

Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common autoimmune disorder affecting the central nervous system. Most often diagnosed in young adults, MS runs a chronic, unpredictable course, often leading to severe disability: 50% of MS patients are unable to perform household and employment responsibilities 10 years after disease onset, and 50% are nonambulatory 25 years after disease onset. While it is not clear what factors influence the prognosis of MS, exposure to stress has long been suspected as a factor that can aggravate its progression. In this paper, we discuss the opportunities for wearable sensors in the management of stress in multiple sclerosis patients.
