At ACP, we believe that research is the only way to
greatly improve the outlook for people with MS and one
day find a cure. Data collection and sharing are key in
the research process. Real World Data (RWD) relate
to the health status and the delivery of healthcare to an individual. Using this
type of data allows therapies to be developed and evaluated under real-world
conditions both cost effectively and in a wider population. The ACP
Repository and iConquerMS databases contain RWD that are readily available
for research, giving investigators an accurate picture of MS from both the
clinical and personal perspectives.
