Virtual Conversations™ in Multiple Sclerosis
"Taking Control of My Therapy"
Join an interactive group session with experienced virtual patients. These friendly and informative characters are eager to share their stories of successfully coping with multiple sclerosis, and happily respond to your input as you steer the conversation to the topics that you feel are most important.
This innovative interactive group-session is brought to you by the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC), the largest multi-disciplinary organization of healthcare professionals specializing in multiple sclerosis with the goal of providing comprehensive MS care.
Virtual Conversations in MS was developed with a faculty of clinical experts in MS and insights from people successfully living with MS.
This MS patient resource is the first in a series developed by the CMSC and Syandus to support the multiple sclerosis community. If you enjoyed this app, please lets us know and we will build more!
