Exclusion criteria: Group I and II of the control participants will be matched on age, gender and level of education to the people with MS. During recrutement this may lead us to exclude certain participants from enrolling in the study to ensure the matching.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcomes are whether the results from three tests that were recently developed for the smartphone: (1) the smartphone Symbol Digit Modalities Test (sSDMT), (2) the smartphone Two-Minute Walking Test (s2MWT), and (3) the smartphone Walking Balance Test (sWBT) match the results of the existing tests: the SDMT, the 2MWT and the Timed-get-Up and Go Test (TUG), respectively.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secundaire outcomes are whether the Fitbit can be used for differentiating between people with MS and control participants. We study whether: 1) thee Fitbit data (a) heartrate, (b) number of steps per day and (c) the number of hours sleep are different between people with MS and control participants; 2) whether Fitbit data on getting up during the night match a hand-written bathroom logbook. This provides insight into whether the Fitbit can be used to measure nycturia (getting up during the night for bathroom visits), which many people with MS have to deal with. As a reference we use the Nocturia Quality-of-Life (nQOL) questionnaire. Finally, semi-structured interviews with a subset of participants, is used to assess user experience and expectations.
