About this trial

NMOSDCopilot is a digital tool developed for the self-assessment of Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder symptoms that impact patients' functioning and quality of life. It has been co-designed with the help of patient advocacy groups, NMOSD patients and medical experts. It includes a smartphone-based application for patients, connected to a web portal developed for healthcare professionals (HCSPs). The patient application is composed of vision, walking, cognition, and dexterity e-active tests inspired by clinical standards, as well as e-questionnaires. The HCP web portal is a desktop-based software that allows HCPs to access the results generated via the patient application and facilitates remote monitoring of patients' symptoms.

The objectives of this study are to validate the accuracy, reliability and reproducibility of the unsupervised at-home self-assessment of symptoms on the patient's smartphone versus the standard in-clinic testing, as well as to evaluate the safety of use of the tool, its usability, and satisfaction towards the patient application among NMOSD patients, and the HCP web dashboard among HCPs.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

To compare results obtained with unsupervised at-home e-active tests and the corresponding supervised in-clinic standard tests, test to test

Pearson correlation coefficient (or Spearman's rank-order correlation depending on the data distribution) between e-active tests at day 7 versus standard tests at baseline

Time frame
Standard tests results at Baseline versus e-active tests results at D0 + 7 days

Secondary outcomes

1

To assess reproducibility between in-clinic and at-home e-active tests

Pearson correlation coefficient (or Spearman's rank-order correlation depending on the data distribution) between e-active tests at day 7 versus standard tests at baseline and between and month 6 and month 6- 7days

Time frame
Baseline, day 7, month 6 - 7 days, month 6
2

To assess test-retest reliability of at-home e-active tests

Intraclass correlation coefficient of e-active tests

Time frame
Month 1, month 2, month 3, month 4, month 5
3

To compare results obtained with in-clinic e-active tests and in-clinic standard tests, test to test

Pearson's correlation coefficient of inc-clinic e-active tests and in-clinic standard tests

Time frame
Baseline, month 6, month 12
4

To assess the adverse events related to of the mobile application use.

descriptive analysis of adverse events (AEs) related to the use of the application.
