Collaboration with Neurostatus-UHB Ltd.
Collaboration with Neurostatus-UHB Ltd.
WCG collaborated with Neurostatus-UHB Ltd., a University Hospital Basel (UHB) subsidiary, led by CEO Marcus D’Souza, M.D., to develop an enhanced digital version of the Neurostatus-Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) to capture clinical trial data.
Uniquely designed to improve a rater’s data entry experience, the system was built to advance data quality by:
As a result, data entry is fast and easy, as the paper form with which the raters are familiar, is nearly identical to the paper-based form In addition, the Neurostatus Definitions booklet is embedded directly into the data capture process, so if there are questions, the rater can refer to the booklet without leaving the system.
With over 130 data points, this scale can be cumbersome to complete on paper. This new scale guides neurologists through the process, providing critical context for each question to significantly reduce inaccuracies and the administrative costs related to additional expert reviews.
Benefits of the WCG eEDSS:
“This exciting new design is the type of product I would have built for myself.”
