Expanding Access to Care with Sensor-infused Textiles: A Closed-loop Remote Monitoring System for Clinical Gait Analysis in People with Multiple Sclerosis

Learning Objectives:

• Explain how sensor-infused textile technologies can be used to capture and quantify spatiotemporal gait metrics in people with multiple sclerosis across both clinical and real-world settings.
• Discuss the feasibility, usability, and validation results of the smart sock system within the V3 (Verification, analytical Validation, clinical Validation) framework for digital health technologies.
• Interpret associations between wearable-derived gait metrics and established clinical outcomes to understand the potential of digital gait biomarkers for remote monitoring and individualized MS care.
