- Lose It! β Tracks activity and nutrition. A MyMSTeam member recommended it saying it's useful "whether you are able to exercise or not."
- Floodlight Open β A free app that measures walking agility, hand coordination, and memory through interactive games. Great for self-monitoring MS-specific functions.
- MS Care Connect β An MS-specific app with a symptom tracker and research-backed surveys to measure both mental and physical functions.
