Summary

This trial aims to see if MS CATCH can improve the patient-doctor relationship and increase patient satisfaction.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for California residents aged 18-80 with Multiple Sclerosis, who can use a mobile app and have mild to moderate depression. They must be able to give consent and follow the study plan without being limited by cognitive or visual issues, and should not have bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or schizoaffective disorder.
What is being tested?
The MS CATCH smartphone application is being tested to see if it improves patient care in those with Multiple Sclerosis and depression. It lets patients report mood symptoms regularly for their neurologist to monitor through their medical records.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves using a mobile application rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience stress or discomfort from regular self-monitoring of depressive symptoms.
