BACKGROUND RESULTS
• Precision medicine promises great advances in the treatment of MS • We provide an initial toolbox to deploy data science methods across various patient data,
through leveraging data science techniques for rapid diagnosis and providing access to standardized models, novel features, and visualization (Fig. 3)
targeted treatment • Clustering based on clinical expertise and machine learning
• Disparate datasets lead to challenges in creating large datasets (Fig. methods helps researchers find sub-cohorts that may be
1) and a lack of a standardized data science framework makes it used in prediction and treatment (Fig. 4)
challenging to extend or explore various approaches • Our packages allow for quickly switching between research
questions and models; we demonstrate these tools to predict
