What is the ALS Mobile Analyzer
The ALS Mobile Analyzer is designed for people diagnosed with ALS and their caregivers. The app is used to monitor the progression of the disease, with the goal of improving patient care, advancing ALS research and improving clinical trial design.

Seamless, frequent and accurate measurements.

Fully digitized solution for tracking ALS progression.

In the future, the app will also provide patients with information about their performence, and with the ability to send it to their clinicians, in order to improve their clinical care.

All information collected is kept in confidential in a secured database.
The Challenge
ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease) is a fatal incurable neurodegenerative disease. It leads to progressive paralysis and typically results in death within 3-5 years. ALS progression is highly variable between patients, a fact which complicates drug development and clinical testing of new candidate therapies.
The common way to measure ALS progression today is by using a subjective questionnaire called the ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALS-FRS). In order to complete the questionnaire, patients must reach a clinic with a trained ALS specialist and answer questions about their ability to speak, walk, breath, dress, and so on.
Unfortunately, the current method for tracking ALS progression is limited, because it entails infrequent measurements, a challenging clinic visit for patients who often have limited mobility, it is subjective and the data is not stored in a single repository.

Our Solution
Prize4Life is developing a cheaper and more accurate way to track ALS progression. We are developing a smartphone-based application that monitors patients in their natural environment and collects objective, continuous, comprehensive functional data. The data are collected using sensors and analyzed by advanced algorithms. The data can then serve as a basis for future research and development of new treatments.

How it works
Download the app from the Google play store or the App store


After a short registration, you will be asked to answer questions and perform simple tasks that will assess your functional abilities.
To help generate the most valuable dataset for improving the technology and for advancing ALS research towards a cure, use the app as often and as accurately as possible.
All information collected is kept confidential in a secured database.
Sharing the app with other patients will also help us capture the wide variety of patients and disease manifestations.
Not affected by ALS but want to help advance efforts to find a therapy and a cure?
Please join us and use the app as healthy controls in order to provide a “healthy” baseline.
