Over the last 30 years, remarkable progress has been made in the advancement of treating multiple sclerosis (MS), a potentially disabling disease that is most likely a consequence of complex autoimmune dysfunctions in the periphery ultimately leading to demyelination in the central nervous system (CNS).
Since 1993, a series of insights has led to greater understanding of the biological mechanisms and triggers driving the inflammatory attacks on the CNS.
These translational insights have also driven the development of newer and more effective treatments in MS.
Entrepreneur Ian Pearce shares the lessons he learned on the journey to establishing his innovation, Neuro ProActive, within the NHS.
My journey for the last six years has been interesting. After my father had a stroke, I experienced a lot of the frustrations that hundreds of thousands of people do each year. It seemed to me that while many of these challenges needed basic solutions, those challenges were numerous and long standing. In late 2017, while having a shower, I started to think about a single digital platform which would be all encompassing for NHS and private practice clinicians, as well as patients and family members. Most of my best ideas happen in the bathroom. It’s the only place where men can multi-task and escape young children. For any potential supplier to want to “crack” the NHS, I’d make two points. Firstly, this is the wrong mindset. The NHS doesn’t want to be “cracked”. Secondly, it’s a huge mistake to see the NHS as one organisation. It’s also important to appreciate that the views in this article are my own, based on my experiences over a five-year period.
