Episode 413: How AI Will Impact MS Patient Care with Dr. Brad Willingham

We're witnessing the early stages of a paradigm shift, as artificial intelligence is beginning to impact virtually every aspect of healthcare, from research to patient care. And there's much, much more to come.

This week, Dr. Brad Willingham, the Director of MS Research at Shepherd Center in Atlanta, joins me to discuss how AI will impact MS patient care.

We'll also share the encouraging results from a Phase 2 open-label extension study for Fenebrutinib, an investigational disease-modifying therapy.

We'll tell you about study results that show exercise interventions that follow physical activity guidelines for MS can have a significant impact on MS-related depression.

And we're sharing the results of a study that illustrate what can happen when you delay starting a disease-modifying therapy.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
