SAN MATEO, Calif. & ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evidation Health and Shepherd Center recently announced a collaboration to measure the real-life experiences of people with neurological diseases and injuries, as well as the impact of digital health interventions on clinical and economic outcomes.

The initial goal of the partnership is to help quantify the lived experience of people with multiple sclerosis and related conditions, while also evaluating relevant technology interventions that could improve outcomes. The affiliation brings the neurological clinical and research expertise of Shepherd Center together with Evidation Health’s technology and health outcomes expertise to enable direct participation of people in prospective outcomes studies of digital health solutions.

Evidation Health’s Real Life Study Solution enables companies to rapidly and rigorously evaluate product impact at scale – automating online consent and enrollment, collecting real-life data during study execution, and linking that behavioral data with medical and contextual data to quantify impact.

“Real life patient data is redefining health outcomes and underlying digital biomarkers that are providing a more complete picture of the neurological patient experience,” said Deborah Kilpatrick, Ph.D., CEO of Evidation Health. “Our partnership with Shepherd Center is driven by our joint objective to help optimize patient care in the digital era of medicine.”

Founded in 1975, Shepherd Center is a 152-bed private, not-for-profit hospital specializing in medical treatment, research and rehabilitation for people with spinal cord injury, brain injury, multiple sclerosis, spine and chronic pain, and other neuromuscular conditions.

“Behaviors can be one of the most significant determinants of health,” said Deborah Backus, PT, Ph.D., FACRM, director of multiple sclerosis research at The Eula C. and Andrew C. Carlos Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Rehabilitation and Wellness Program at Shepherd Center. “We're excited to work with Evidation Health to correlate what we learn in a patient’s visit to the clinic with digital health behavior data for a more continuous picture of their everyday lives. This will have a profound impact on how we integrate technology to meaningfully enhance outcomes for people with neurological conditions.”
