Our Community of Practice
The BRAINTEASER Community of Practice is a collaborative space for people with multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, their clinicians, caregivers, and the general public who are interested in using artificial intelligence and other digital tools to help manage these conditions.
This community aims to offer a place to share the latest advances, trusted knowledge directly supervised by MS and ASL clinical experts and researchers, and insights that would allow the BRAINTEASER project to provide a comprehensive and practical toolkit of resources and content for all.
