Although each platform has a different developer (Rodanotech for Android and NeuroApps Toronto for Apple), both versions of the EDSS Calculator App have a similar goal. They use the Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) to quantify disability in MS.

EDSS rates eight Functional Systems (FS), including: pyramidal, cerebellar, brainstem, sensory, bowel and bladder, visual, and cerebral. Neurologists assign a Functional System Score (FSS) to each of these areas. A low score means the patient is fully ambulatory. A high score is assigned to patients with significant impairment.

Both EDSS Calculator apps bring this important diagnostic tool directly to physicians' smartphones. With it, they can quickly and easily calculate where their patients fall on the scale.
