Multiple Sclerosis and the Brain: From Diagnosis to Digital Innovation
脡tienne de Villers-Sidani, MDCM, FRCP(C),聽is a neurologist, neuroscientist, and entrepreneur, and Director of the Cognitive Disorders Clinic at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital). He is also an associate professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at 海角社区. His research focuses on how aging and neurological disorders affect brain function, and on developing innovative strategies, including brain training and digital biomarkers, to preserve and restore cognitive health. A central focus of his work is the use of eye movement biomarkers for the early detection and monitoring of neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer鈥檚 disease, and Parkinson鈥檚 disease. As founder of Innodem Neurosciences, he is committed to bringing these technologies into clinical practice to improve access to high-quality neurological care.
During this episode of 海角社区 Cares, Dr. de Villers-Sidani will explore multiple sclerosis (MS), one of the most common neurological diseases affecting young adults in Canada. He will explain how MS impacts the brain over time, including its effects on cognition, and how it can sometimes resemble other conditions such as Alzheimer鈥檚 disease. He will also discuss emerging innovations in neurological monitoring, including how simple eye movement tests performed on a tablet can detect subtle changes in brain function. These approaches offer new and accessible ways to track disease progression in real time. Throughout the talk, he will highlight how informed and empowered patients can play a central role in improving their own care and outcomes.
