ACT-Sydney Multiple Sclerosis (MS) cohort study

As part of the Our Health in Our Hands (OHIOH) project, researchers at the Australian National University and Sydney Adventist Hospital are working together to improve the clinical management and overall health and wellbeing of people living with multiple sclerosis (MS). In this study we are recruiting people with MS as well as people who […]

Testing Brain-Computer Interfaces for Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) use sensors to record brain activity and translate that activity into user-intended commands, which can be used to control a device such as your phone or computer. We are investigating how the brain controls movements and how multiple sclerosis may affect the brain’s activity when thinking about movement. This research could provide […]

Anxiety in Multiple Sclerosis

We are interested in identifying psychological factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of anxiety in individuals with MS. We are also interested in comparing these factors to those without an illness. Participants will be requested to fill out an online questionnaire at three different time points. Time 1: Fill out an ~30min questionnaire. […]

People with mobility-impairing neurological conditions perspectives about graduated compression stockings to prevent deep vein thrombosis.

This research aims to acquire information on the users’ needs around graduated compression stockings (GCS) and identify the drawbacks of current available GCS designs. Their difficulties in wearing, daily use, and the factors affecting the selection of the compression stockings, will be identified in the online survey and focus group using Zoom. To identify the […]

Living Well with MS – Invisible Symptoms, Health Routines and Digital Technology

This study will explore the strategies people with MS use to manage living with unpredictable (and often invisible) symptoms. It will ask about your experience with healthcare and explore how technology may help you manage your MS. The first phase of the project is this 10-minute survey. At the end of the survey, you will […]

Designing Brain-Computer Interfaces for Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) use sensors to record brain activity and translate that activity into user-intended commands, which can be used to control a device. This project aims to understand what individuals with multiple sclerosis would like to see in a BCI so that it is most beneficial to them. This 15-minute survey asks participants to […]
