Exciting news for the Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) community! The Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation (HNF) has been awarded an Advocacy Collaboration Grant from the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) to further its groundbreaking work in CMT research. This funding will drive critical advancements in understanding how CMT affects mobility and quality of life—and we need YOU to be part of it!

As part of this initiative, HNF has partnered with BioSensics™ to conduct a pioneering wearable technology study designed to remotely monitor daily activities and functions of people living with CMT in real-world settings. This study utilizes FDA-registered wearable devices like PAMSys™, which continuously track movement, providing invaluable data that can help researchers and clinicians better understand CMT’s impact.

Why does this matter?

Shaping the Future of CMT Treatment – Real-world data is key to improving therapies and clinical trials.

Improving Patient Advocacy & Research – Your participation helps drive policy changes and better support for the CMT community.

Easy & Non-Invasive – The wearable device collects data seamlessly, requiring little effort from you!
