Abstract

We present an early prototype of the ASSESS MS system, developed to help health professionals more accurately monitor the progression of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Specifically, the system aims to detect and quantify changes in motor dysfunction more objectively and accurately than human assessors. We focus on key interaction design decisions needed to deploy a machine-learning based system in a real clinical context.
