The Multiple Sclerosis Journal often includes a debate on a controversial topic, with one author (or groups of authors) stating the pro side and another stating the con side, followed by a commentary that serves as a summary. The topic in the August 1, 2020, issue is "We should monitor our patients with wearable technology instead of clinical examination." This idea could revolutionize the way MS patients associate with their neurologists:
