Using the case study of the Multiple Sclerosis Care Unit Initiative launched by the European Charcot Foundation, we discuss the need to evaluate the impact of multidisciplinary and multi-stakeholder healthcare systems on patient-reported experience and outcomes for the programming and monitoring of brain and neurodegenerative diseases in Europe and beyond. The multiple sclerosis (MS) case study presented in this paper highlights the role of patient-generated data as indicators of the impact of value-based healthcare (VBHC) for all the different neurological diseases whose prodromal symptoms are the first signs of disease progression and therefore instrumental markers for preventive treatments to preserve brain health. A holistic approach to the treatment of MS plays a crucial role in the inclusion and scientific meaning of the patient's perspective in terms of patient-reported dimension and patient-generated health data (PGHD).

Background: Financial hardship (including financial stress, financial strain, asset depletion, and financial toxicity) is a highly relevant construct among the 6.9 million people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) in the United States and their family networks. This scoping review will identify existing measures and approaches for capturing financial strain among these families.

Background: In a cluster-randomised trial in Uganda and Tanzania, we showed that integrated management, compared with standard vertical care, could achieve a high standard of care for diabetes and hypertension without adversely affecting outcomes for HIV. However, evidence on the value for money of integrated care is needed to inform policy.
Objective: Our economic evaluation aimed to establish the value for money of integrated care compared with vertical care for HIV, diabetes and hypertension.

Background: Clonotyping of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) gene rearrangements is critical for diagnosis, prognostication, and measurable residual disease monitoring in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Although short-read next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms, such as Illumina MiSeq, are widely used, they face challenges in spanning full VDJ rearrangements. Long-read sequencing via Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) offers a potential alternative using the compact and cost-effective flow cells.

Objective: To evaluate speech perception deficit compensation and predict potential hearing aids (HA) effectiveness in patients with hearing loss (HL).
Design: The patients underwent pure-tone audiometry and various speech tests in quiet (evaluating the peripheral auditory system and cognitive compensation) and in noise (to quantify central compensation through auditory processing and cognitive abilities).
Study Sample: 513 HL patients aged 19-93 years, including 403 HA users.

Objective: To explore healthcare professionals' perceptions on the implementation of home hemodialysis and self-assisted hemodialysis in Singapore and to identify the perceived barriers, facilitators, and actionable strategies for increasing uptake.
Methods: This is a qualitative explorative study based on semi-structured face-to-face interviews conducted with a multidisciplinary group of 12 healthcare professionals at an acute teaching hospital in Singapore. Thematic analysis was used for data analysis.
