Episode 360: How Digital Technology Is Changing the Diagnosis and Treatment of MS with Dr. Riley Bove

It's hard to imagine any area of our lives that hasn't been transformed by digital technology. That's certainly true for healthcare in general and MS diagnosis and treatment in particular.

Dr. Riley Bove joins me to discuss the role that digital technology already plays in the diagnosis and treatment of MS and to share a preview of what's coming next.

The National MS Society has named its new President and CEO. We're sharing the details!

We'll tell you about some of the benefits that are being observed in the Phase 2 clinical trial and extension study of Frexalimab, an experimental antibody that may be on the path to becoming a highly effective disease-modifying therapy.

We'll share the details behind the FTC's planned lawsuit against the three largest Pharmacy Benefit Managers (and we'll tell you why that matters to anyone taking a prescription medication).

Stressing out about an upcoming MRI exam? We're sharing info about Happy MRI, a website that's been designed to relieve MRI-related anxiety.

And we're reminding you that Crush MS, the Napa Valley wine-tasting fundraising event, is happening this Saturday, July 27th. We'll let you know where to get your ticket!

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