Updated My MS Manager mobile phone app helps individuals with MS better manage their disease

My MS Manager™, the first-of-its kind mobile phone app created by the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America (MSAA) to help individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) better manage their disease, now offers new features including a way to connect and share information with one's physician.

Available for Apple and Android mobile devices, this free app is a convenient tool for individuals living with MS to input and store important medical information, track symptoms and disease activity, and generate charts and reports across various metrics such as treatments, moods, symptoms, and more.

Other HIPAA-compliant features include private reminder settings, links to MSAA's educational materials, and – exclusive to My MS Manager – the ability to connect physicians and members of your healthcare team via the app to share your progress and reports securely and as needed.

My MS Manager Ambassador Anna Webber states, "In this world that is increasingly powered by all-things-digital, efficiency and clarity are at the top of my list. Having been diagnosed with MS as a 23-year-old, I wanted to do my best to take control of my health. Having a tool to help me do this has been extremely helpful. The Multiple Sclerosis Association of America's mobile app, My MS Manager, allows me to not only keep track of all of my notes, meds, doctor info, labs, and journals, but also gives me access to local resources, current MS research updates, and so much more. I can now manage my disease with an incredible amount of clarity and efficiency – things I have not had before. A huge thank you to MSAA, for giving me the tools to be in control."

My MS Manager, powered by @Point of Care, re-launched in December 2014 with new enhanced features and usability for people with MS and their care partners.
