Summary

In this study researchers wanted to learn more about the medication usage behavior among multiple sclerosis (MS) patients treated with Betaferon using the myBETAapp which includes the elements to what extent * taking medication matched the presciber´s recommendation (adherence, compliance), * treatment for the prescribed duration (persistence) was continued and * injections were missed. Among MS patients treated with Betaferon using the myBETAapp the study also collected information on the health-related quality of life, treatment satisfaction and satisfaction with treatment support.

Detailed description

The PROmyBETAappGame study was a mixed prospective and retrospective, non-interventional, observational cohort study

Conditions

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	myBETAapp	Patients choosing to use the myBETAapp were required to insert the Mixject number from their prescribed Betaferon box, which serves as an opening key for the app. Obtaining a new Betaferon box and obtaining a new Mixject number was not interfere with the process of continuously allocating data to a single patient; each patient had a unique personal identifier in the database. All data recorded in the myBETAapp including demographic and injection-related data were stored in the database once the mobile device was connected to the internet.
OTHER	PEAK	Peak is an application that aims at helping its users to challenge their brains and keep them sharp.
DRUG	Betaferon, BAY86-5046	Injection
DEVICE	BETACONNECT	BETACONNECT automatically records and stores injection-related details including injection time, speed, and depth upon every injection.
