Advantages
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. The ALS app displays precise information on the individual progression of the disease to provide orientation for those affected, relatives and doctors. The app shows you data on the progression of your ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS), your progression marker Nf-L and your vital signs that are important for treatment (BMI, SVP, PCF).
Care: The ALS app offers you the opportunity to communicate your care requirements for aids and medication to your ALS pilots online. You can thus
from your smartphone or tablet on the move and from home. You can use the ALS app to send important prescriptions, documents and photos to your care providers, therapists and pharmacies.
Research: The latest news on research, treatment and care for ALS is available in the app via an automatic news feed. The ALS podcast is integrated into the app and offers conversations with experts on all aspects of ALS. With the ALS Functional Scale and a speech analysis function, the app offers you the opportunity to participate in scientific research projects from home.
