July 2020.
A new free anonymous AI-powered social networking and navigation platform, BelongMS (Belong.Life, New York, NY), has been launched for individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS), caregivers, and healthcare professionals. The app can be downloaded for Android and iOS.
The new app follows the success of a global social networking and navigation app for cancer management, the largest platform of its kind. The app utilizes proprietary machine learning algorithms and domain expertise to provide hyperpersonalized information to support individuals throughout the MS journey, while uncovering new insights into patient journeys. This includes support groups and direct access to medical professionals, including neurologists, radiologists, urologists, and others who can answer questions. The app also provides useful tools including a medical binder manager to store and organize medical records in one place, with the option to share them securely and privately with family members or physicians. A clinical matching trial feature is available as well, utilizing natural language processing (NLP) algorithms to analyze all available trials around the globe to match individuals within 2 weeks, on average.
