The main purpose of this study is to assess the usability and value of the multiple sclerosis (MS) care management platform in terms of improved monitoring of people with MS (pwMS) in clinical practice.
This is a two-year prospective data collection study with additional data collection at baseline evaluating medical practice over a period of at least one year before the introduction of the MS care management platform.
The MS care management platform consists of:
A) icobrain ms, a cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) solution to quantify brain volume and brain abnormalities and changes thereof on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and thereby providing insights into subclinical changes during disease progression in MS.
B) icompanion ms, which consists of i) A free participant mobile application (app) and website to keep track of participant reported health and medications and prepare participants for the next consultation.
ii) A web portal for healthcare professionals (HCPs), which is accessible via web browser. The MS care team will be able to access the participants' data entered via the participant app (active linking of systems by the participant required), as well as their participants' MRI images and icobrain ms volumetric brain reports automatically imported by the hospital picture archiving and communications system (PACS).

| HCPs: Median of the System Usability Scale (SUS) Score Reported by Radiologists and Neurologists at Month 6 | SUS is a validated scale that assesses subjective usability of a system, or, in this case, the MS care management platform. The SUS consists of a 10-item questionnaire with five response options ranging from Strongly agree (5) to Strongly disagree (1). The items scores are converted into a score from 0 (negative) to 100 (positive). A score of ā„50 indicates that the MS care management platform is acceptable, and a score above 68 is considered above average. The final SUS score is not a percentile or a percentage and the SUS acceptability guidelines on how to interpret the score are: <51=awful; 51-68=poor; 68=okay; 68-80.3=good; > 80.3=excellent; 100=best imaginable score. | Month 6 |

| Change From Baseline in Time Needed for MRI Review, Assessed by SSIs of Radiologists | To assess the change in time required for MRI review, the radiologists are required to answer a set of 2 questions; one question with a yes/no response (whether icobrain ms save time when reading an MRI) and another question where in the HCPs will express the time saved in minutes (absolute) and in percentage (relative) while reading an MRI while using icobrain ms. |

Participants with MS are enrolled in this study. Participants with RRMS were chosen because most available disease modifying therapies (DMTs) are approved for this subgroup, and hence guiding care in this population is most relevant.

| Participants: Median Score of the mHealth App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ) [MAUQ_E (Ease of Use) MAUQ_I (Interface and Satisfaction)] at Baseline | MAUQ_E and MAUQ_I are subscales of a validated self-report survey (MAUQ) in which participants report how easy the app (icompanion MS patient app) was to use and rate their satisfaction with the user interface of the app. MAUQ_E consists of a 5-item questionnaire with seven response options ranging from Strongly agree to Strongly disagree. Ease of use scores range from 5 to 35 with higher scores indicating greater ease of use. MAUQ_I consists of a 7-item questionnaire with seven response options; from Strongly agree to Strongly disagree. Interface and satisfaction scores range from 7 to 49 with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction. | Baseline |

| Change From Baseline in Perception of Disease Worsening by HCPs, Assessed by Semi-structured Interviews (SSIs) at Month 6 | To assess the change in perception of disease worsening by the HCPs, two versions of the SSIs are available, one version is for radiology and the other for neurology. The HCPs are required to answer a set of 3 questions with 6 response options ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree and also select the reasons for agreeing/disagreeing from the options listed. If HCPs agree, they can select between aspects of the disease activity/progression for which the system provides an increased ability to detect changes. The questionnaire also includes an item with a yes/no response. A scale ranging from 1 to 6 will be attributed to these responses (with 1 being strongly disagree and 6 being strongly agree). The higher the score, the higher the impact of the tools in the perception of disease worsening. | Baseline to Month 6 |

| Change From Baseline in Time Needed for Visit Preparation, Assessed by SSIs of Neurologists | To assess the change in time required for visit preparation, the neurologist is required to answer a set of 3 questions with 6 response options ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree and if the response selected is "agree" a free text field is available to explain the reason for agreeing. | Baseline, 6, 12 and 24 months |
| Change From Baseline in Health Literacy Assessed by the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) | The HLQ explores dimensions of health literacy such as social support relationship with caregivers, health information evaluation or ability to engage with caregivers. Participants will be asked to rate "How strongly do you disagree or agree with the following statements?". The options provided are: strongly disagree, disagree, agree and strongly agree, which are scored from 1 to 4, respectively. In 2nd part of the HLQ, participants will be asked "How easy or difficult are the following tasks for you to do now?" The options for these scales are: cannot do, usually difficult, sometimes difficult, usually easy and always easy, which were scored from 1 to 5, respectively. For both the parts higher the score higher is the health literacy of a participant. | Baseline, 12 and 24 months |
| Change From Baseline in Participant Autonomy Assessed by the Patient Activation MeasureĀ® 13 (PAM13) | PAM 13 is a measure used to assess the participant knowledge, skill, and confidence for self-management of health, consisting of 13 questions. Each of the 13 items can be answered with one of four possible response options, which are "disagree strongly" (1), "disagree" (2), "agree" (3), "agree strongly" (4). Scores will be summed to calculate the overall raw score, then transformed to a scale with a theoretical range 0 to 100, based on calibration tables, with higher PAM scores indicating higher participant activation. | Baseline, 12 and 24 months |
| Change From Baseline in Medication Adherence, Assessed by the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) | The MMAS 8-item questionnaire is a recognized indicator of medication adherence, consisting of 8 questions with a sum score ranging between 0 and 8 points. The higher score indicates higher adherence to the prescribed therapy recommendation. It has been agreed that the score of 8 could be categorized as having high adherence, score between 6 and 7 as medium adherence and scores of 5 and less as low adherence. A positive change score will reflect an improvement in the adherence. | Baseline, 12 and 24 months |
