Bristol Myers Squibb's MS innovation challenge winners tap technology for patients

An artificial intelligence device that helps multiple sclerosis patients rehabilitate foot drop symptoms took the top prize in Bristol Myers Squibb’s latest MS innovation challenge.

Pierluigi Mantovani, co-founder of Evolution Devices, combined an electrical stimulus device with intelligent software after watching his own father struggle with foot drop. It's a common MS symptom that causes difficulty for people lifting the front of their foot to the correct angle when walking.
