Remote Patient Monitoring Platform for Neurological Conditions

As the only remote patient monitoring platform designed and created by clinical physicians, our vision is to fundamentally change the way we understand and manage chronic neurologic diseases, remove biases, and find new treatments with better outcomes.  

BeCare Link provides validated, quantitative measurements of neurologic function and cognition, supplemented by AI analysis* to improve patient care. By assessing their own neurologic and cognitive function at home through the BeCare Link app, patients are empowered to monitor their clinical progress and strengthen the bonds with their physicians.

*This feature is currently only available for use in an academic/research settings, but it will be released to the public pending FDA clearance

Publications

BeCare has run two pilot studies, at Weill Cornell and Yale School of Medicine, comparing the remote neurologic assessment captured by and the Artificial Intelligence interpretation created using the BeCare MS Link data with the in-person neurologic assessment by clinicians.  There was a close correlation between the functional assessment and disability scores based on BeCare MS Link’s gamified activity and the EDSS score calculated in the MS centers.    

A review of available MS apps failed to show any other apps that collect quantified data and have AI interpretation of functional systems and disability scores similar to the BeCare MS Link.
