At Biogen, we are devoted to helping people who are living a life with multiple sclerosis (MS). Thats the driving force behind all we do, and its why weve developed MySidekick™, to be by your side whenever you need it.
MySidekick allows you (or the person you care for) to record mood, energy level, activities, sensations, and memory as often as you like. You can use this tool to help keep track of how you’re doing over time.
Features:
• A daily overview
• Tips to help you as you live with MS
• An email function that lets you send your results to yourself, a friend, or a family member
• Customized reminders, as an additional option, to help you remember to use your trackers, take your medicine, and keep your doctor appointments
• A list of suggested questions to ask at your next doctor appointment to help you have more productive conversations
• Location-based reminders, so you remember to ask your questions the next time you visit your doctor
• A memory exercise to help you test your memory skills over time
• A built-in step tracking feature that can use your phones internal pedometer (iPhone 5s and later) or external devices through the Apple Health app to track your activity level
With MySidekick, you can check in whenever you like and record information about your day. Once youve made a few entries, you can look back to see how youve been doing over time. By using this app on a regular basis, you can see activity over time and better prepare for a productive conversation with your doctor. Please note, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. By using Location Services for location based reminders you are enabling this feature.
