Conduct Neurologic Assessments at Home

Screen shot of app used in clinical trials for MS

 

Our app replicates neurologic testing that neurologists administer in their offices. In-office neurological assessments are time-consuming, time-sensitive, and most often, require a considerable wait time to schedule an appointment with a qualified specialist to conduct the examination.

BeCare Link offers an alternative: remote, ongoing monitoring of your condition. With our mobile app, you can conduct assessments at home.

Here’s how BeCare Link works:

  1. Download the app from one of  the app store. (Go to Google Play or the App Store.)
  2. Register and fill out a questionnaire about your medical history. The history covers your Neurologic Symptoms, Treatments, Relapses, and Other Medical Treatment.
  3. Answer questions about your Quality of Life, Happiness, and Mental Health over the past 2 weeks.
  4. Play the game-like activities on your mobile phone.
