Summary

A study published in Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders highlights the promise of More Stamina, a gamified mHealth app designed to help people with MS manage fatigue. Over a 60-day trial with 20 patients, the app increased users' awareness of energy patterns, aided planning, and improved communication with families and healthcare providers. While generally usable, some found data input mentally taxing. Developed with strong patient involvement and scientific rigor, the app emphasizes personalization and real-world usability. Researchers stress that broader studies are needed but view More Stamina as a model for integrating meaningful digital tools into chronic disease care.
