MSBase
MSBase is the focus of the Trust’s. We are spearheading and funding of MSBase in New Zealand, and it’s already making a difference. This major project encourages New Zealand-based research and benefits the lives of people with Multiple Sclerosis.
Researchers in New Zealand will have access to the largest organised repository of longitudinal, anonymised data from nearly 70,000 consenting Multiple Sclerosis patients in 35 participating countries. This dataset enables researchers to gain insight into Multiple Sclerosis in New Zealand.
MSBase is also a tool for tracking and evaluating patient health outcomes. As we fund the MSBase on-boarding, clinicians can use this insightful platform to achieve better health outcomes for their patients.
