How can we better predict the progression of ALS (motor neuron disease)? In this episode, Florence (⁠⁠⁠@florencetownend⁠⁠⁠) talks about her PhD research, which uses neuroimaging, clinical data, and AI to tackle this challenge. Florence and Davy (⁠⁠⁠@davytennison⁠⁠⁠) discuss why ALS is so difficult to predict and how multimodal techniques are paving the way for improved research and patient care.
