The Personal Data Store (PDS), herein referred to as the Backpack, was proposed as an opportunity to improve the experience of accessing services and enabling integrated and person-centred care.

The project explored the potential solution developed by the project partners: Mydex CIC, a community interest company who specialise in personal data management, together with NHS Grampian and Moray Social Health and Care Partnership.

The overall aims of the research project were to explore how people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) would like to manage their personal information to improve the experience of accessing services, and understand the potential of the Backpack to support health and care professionals to deliver more integrated and person-centred care.
