New technologies in the neurological field: What can I use today? And what is coming?

Today, evoked potentials and OCT are routinely used to detect subclinical involvement of eloquent pathways, to confirm relapses or to monitor demyelination, remyelination and axonal loss in trials targeting remyelination and neuroprotection. On the other hand, extensive research, also on a large scale, is being conducted to validate and promote the use of digital technologies for remote monitoring, with the final aim to ease disease management and to allow to empower self-monitoring by people with MS. All these measures, to be integrated in the large portfolio already available including biomarkers and neuroimaging, will require computing power and novel processing techniques, from statistical approaches to artificial intelligence.
