Unlocking the Hidden Aspects of Multiple Sclerosis: Interview with Prof. Daniel Ontaneda

#WorldMSDay

Exploring Beyond the Surface of MS Diagnosis and Management

 An enlightening conversation with Prof. Ontaneda, where we delve into the complexities of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Discover the importance of recognizing the “hidden” symptoms such as fatigue and cognitive decline, often overlooked in standard care. Learn about the transformative potential of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and digital technologies in enhancing the detection and management of MS, paving the way for a future of personalized and effective patient care.
