#HackMS
Hackers gathered at Boston’s Innovation District in February to take on a unique challenge: develop a tech-based tool to help people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) manage daily stress. While there are several lifestyle modifications people with MS can make to help reduce stress, there hasn’t been a concerted effort to merge those interventions with technologies that could help improve access and use. That’s why Biogen Idec sponsored the “Hack MS” hackathon—to jumpstart innovative ideas intended to help reduce the negative effects of unmanaged stress in the lives of people with MS.
