The ALS app - orientation, care and research for people with ALS on their smartphone

Orientation: People with ALS go through different phases of the disease at different speeds. Precise information on the individual course of the disease is displayed in the ALS app to provide orientation for those affected, their relatives and doctors. The app shows you data on the course of your ALS function scale (ALSFRS), your progress marker Nf-L and your vital signs (BMI, SVC, PCF), which are important for treatment.

Supply: The ALS app offers you the possibility to communicate your supply needs for aids and medicines online to your ALS guides. You can initiate care processes from your smartphone or tablet, mobile and from home. You can use the ALS app to send important prescriptions, documents and photos to your providers, therapists and pharmacies.

Research: You can get the latest news about ALS research, treatment and care in the app via an automatic news history. The ALS podcast is integrated into the app and offers conversations with experts about ALS. With the ALS function scale and a speech analysis function, the app offers you the opportunity to participate in scientific research projects from home.
