This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing ExerciseRx, a free app designed to help people with multiple sclerosis become more physically active. The app tracks your steps using your smartphone and works with your healthcare provider to set personalized daily activity goals that adjust based on your progress. Your provider can also send you supportive messages and adjustments to keep you motivated.
About 80% of people with MS don't get enough physical activity because of MS-related symptoms, physical limitations, and lack of accessible exercise options — even though staying active is very important for managing MS. This trial wants to see if having your provider involved and using a personalized app can help overcome these barriers.

If you join this study, you will either use the ExerciseRx app for 26 weeks or receive standard care without the app. Those using the app will set daily step goals, complete short surveys about what makes activity challenging, and receive supportive messages from your provider. You'll also complete some health questionnaires at the start and end of the study. The whole study lasts about 6 months, and after that time, everyone will be offered access to the app if they want it.
