Artificial intelligence is about to change the entire healthcare landscape. And that might very well include how MS is diagnosed, treated, and managed. It's even beginning to impact the way some MS research is being conducted. My guest is the founder and CEO of iQuity, Dr. Chase Spurlock. iQuity is using its expertise in machine learning to improve patient care, drive the creation of new therapies, and reduce the costs associated with managing chronic illness, including multiple sclerosis.      We're also talking about the important but sometimes overlooked difference between MS facts and MS beliefs. We'll tell you about the safety alert that the FDA has issued for Lemtrada, and new survey research from the MS Society in the UK that shows the majority of people living with MS are living with feelings of loneliness and isolation.   You'll hear about new study data that shows the gender differences in MS have some age-related fine points that are worth noting, and we'll tell you about a Phase 3 clinical trial that's looking at the effectiveness of high-dose biotin in slowing or stopping MS progression for people living with progressive MS.   We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS?! ___________
