About icompanion
icompanion is a free (no in-app purchases, no advertisement) app and webplatform (icompanion.ms) that helps you with the home monitoring of your condition. In between your doctor’s visit, a lot of information is lost: how you feel, which symptoms you experience, how strong these are, how your disability, fatigue and cognition are changing, etc. The app is currently available in English, German, French, Dutch, Italian and Spanish.
For all of this, you’ve got a companion in me! Unlike most of the other health apps, icompanion is a registered medical device. Hence, the information you monitor with icompanion can be used by your doctor to make decisions on your health. If you log-in at icompanion.ms with the same account information, you can share your icompanion information with your doctor. This can lead to more productive conversations and there is more information at hand for your doctor on how you’ve been doing.
icompanion is very easy to use, yet full of relevant information for you. In only a few minutes a day, you will have an overview of:
- Your daily mood
- Any notes you wish to add
- All your treatments, therapies, etc
- The symptoms you’re experiencing over time
- The severity of these symptoms
In addition, icompanion contains clinical tests that have been developed by the largest academic centers and that are used worldwide to monitor Multiple Sclerosis. These tests evaluate:
- Your level of disability, through the patient reported ‘Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS)’
- Your cognitive abilities, through the neuro quality of life (neuro-qol) questionnaire on cognition
- Your level of fatigue, through the neuro quality of life (neuro-qol) questionnaire on fatigue
Furthermore, icompanion allows you to upload your MRI scans to the webplatform (icompanion.ms). In this way, you can easily store all your medical scans in one secure and central space. You can scroll through your own brain scan in several directions and learn about what MRI can show (and what it doesn’t).
icompanion also includes a knowledge center, with relevant information that is explained. All of this together will help you to prepare for your doctor’s visit.
Finally, icompanion uses Apple Healthkit to collect daily steps and sleep data.
Take charge of your condition, monitor how you feel, track your health: let icompanion be your companion.
The icompanion team wants to learn your story and your ideas! Share them via support@icompanion.com.

We've added two brand new features for you!
Go take a look at the knowledge center! We added more than 90 videos and articles on symptom management, relapses, physical exercise, and more. We hope this will help you to understand the symptoms you might experience, and how you can cope with them.
On the home screen you'll see our new visit preparation tool! If you enter the date of your next visit, we can help you keep track of things to ask your care team, and documents to bring (e.g. blood results) or request (e.g. prescriptions). If you are linked to your doctor, they will receive the information you enter in the app!
We also fixed one little bug; as it turns out some of you have been penning epic sagas in our diary function! Apologies for the small display cards, we now made sure you can go back and read your diary notes, no matter how long they are.
