A simple and reliable solution for home monitors is what we are continuously working on together with our users, clinics and academic partners.

In several studies we have demonstrated the reliability of digital medical tests. This has included looking at the difference with "normal" clinical tests, but we have also looked at the relationship with disease activity as measured by MRI.

Meanwhile, we have been recognized as a reliable medical device and continue to research the application of digital measurements in clinical practice.

All of our results have been published in scientific articles. Below is an overview.
