Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) are chronic diseases characterized by progressive or alternate impairment of neurological functions (motor, sensory, visual, cognitive). Patients have to manage alternated periods in hospital with care at home, experiencing a constant uncertainty regarding the timing of the disease acute phases and facing a considerable psychological and economic burden that also involves their caregivers. Clinicians, on the other hand, need tools able to support them in all the phases of the patient treatment, suggest personalized therapeutic decisions, indicate urgently needed interventions.

BRAINTEASER will integrate large clinical datasets with novel personal and environmental data collected using low-cost sensors and apps. Software and mobile apps will be designed embracing an agile and user-centred design approach, accounting for the technical, medical, psychological and societal needs of the specific users.
