EverythingALS Publications Publications ENCALS LEPM Poster Machine Learning Model Predicts Listener Effort in ALS-related Dysarthria Esteban G. Roitberg, Marcos A. Trevisan, Julian Peller, Diego E. Shalom, Felipe Aguirre, Gastón Bujía, Alan Taitz, Donna Harris, Katie Seaver, Stacey Sullivan, Amy Wright, Jordan R. Green, Jason Osik, Ryan A. Shewcraft, Peng Jiang, Joel Schwartz, Ernest Fraenkel, James D. Berry, Indu Navar Bingham, Lyle W. Ostrow. Background Dysarthria is associated with decreased quality of life in people with ALS. Monitoring progressive changes in speech is challenging due to the complex impact of ALS on multiple speech subsystems. Quantitative measures of dysarthria could be useful as ALS clinical trial outcome measures, providing clinically meaningful insight into the progression of bulbar symptomatology. Listener Effort (LE) is a clinician rated feature, scored from 0-100, describing how much effort a healthy listener needs to exert to understand a dysarthric speaker. Listener Effort is inherently clinically meaningful, can be reliably rated by Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) listening to recorded speech samples, changes quantitatively over time in ALS, and is highly reproducible. READ MORE Listener effort measures clinically meaningful change of dysarthria in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Indu Navar Bingham, Raquel Norel, Esteban G. Roitberg, Julián Peller, Marcos A. Trevisan, Carla Agurto, Michele Merler, Diego E. Shalom, Felipe Aguirre, Iair Embon, Alan Taitz, Donna Harris, Amy Wright, Katie Seaver, Stacey Sullivan, Jordan R. Green, Lyle W. Ostrow, Ernest Fraenkel, James D. Berry Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative motor neuron disease that can cause progressive bulbar dysfunction and dysarthria, resulting in reduced quality of life. Quantitative motor speech analysis can identify features of dysarthria that worsen with ALS progression but are not, inherently, clinically meaningful. Listener effort is a clinician rated feature describing how much effort the listener needs to exert to understand the dysarthric speaker. This study investigated whether listener effort could act as a clinically meaningful measure of ALS dysarthria that could be used as an outcome measure in clinical trials. READ MORE Reliable monitoring of respiratory function with home spirometry in people living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Julian Peller, Marcos A. Trevisan, Gaston Bujial, Felipe Aguirrel, Diego E. Shalom, Alan TaitzIt, Stephanie Henzel, Silviya Bastola, Jason Osik, Ryan A. Shewcraft, Peng Jiang, Joel Schwartz, Terry Heiman-Patterson, Michael E. ShermanS, Matthew F. Wipperman, Oren Levy, Guofa Shou, Karl A. Sillay, Lyle W. Ostrow, Ernest Frankel, James D. Berry, Indu Navar Bingham, Esteban G. Roitberg Introduction Monitoring respiratory function is essential for assessing the progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and planning interventions. Remote pulmonary function testing offers a promising alternative to in-clinic visits by reducing participant burden and enabling more frequent and accessible measurements. Methods: To evaluate the feasibility and reliability of home-based spirometry in ALS, we built on the Radcliff Study, a fully remote, longitudinal, exploratory study conducted at home by 67 people with ALS (pALS). After an initial training period, participants managed their coaching autonomously, performing spirometry independently or requesting assistance from trained personnel. READ MORE Clinical assessment and interpretation of dysarthria in ALS using attention based deep learning AI models Michele Merler, Carla Agurto, Julian Peller, Esteban Roitberg, Alan Taitz, Marcos A. Trevisan, Indu Navar, James D. Berry, Ernest Fraenkel, Lyle W. Ostrow, Guillermo A. Cecchi and Raquel Norel Abstract Speech dysarthria is a key symptom of neurological conditions like ALS, yet existing AI models designed to analyze it from audio signal rely on handcrafted features with limited inference performance. Deep learning approaches improve accuracy but lack interpretability. We propose an attention-based deep learning AI model to assess dysarthria severity based on listener effort ratings. Using 2,102 recordings from 125 participants, rated by three speech-language pathologists on a 100-point scale, we trained models directly from recordings collected remotely. Our best model achieved R2 of 0.92 and RMSE of 6.78. Attention-based interpretability identified key phonemes, such as vowel sounds influenced by ‘r’ (e.g., “car,” “more”), and isolated inspiration sounds as markers of speech deterioration. This model enhances precision in dysarthria assessment while maintaining clinical interpretability. By improving sensitivity to subtle speech changes, it offers a valuable tool for research and patient care in ALS and other neurological disorders. READ MORE 2024 NEALS Conference A Novel, Self-Administered, App-Based Assessment of Motor Movement in ALS Christina Fournier (Emory University), Indu Navar (EverythingALS), Natalia Luchkina (EverythingALS), Christian Rubio (EverythingALS), and Stephanie Henze (EverythingALS) Abstract This study presents the ALS Motor App, a self-administered, AI-supported tool designed to remotely assess motor movement in individuals with ALS. The app evaluates 46 motor tasks across bulbar, upper extremity, trunk, and lower extremity regions through written descriptions and animated visuals. Users record their ability to perform tasks, with results stored in a central repository for review. Initial beta testing has refined the app using feedback from clinicians and people with ALS (pALS), with the tool now available on Google Play and the Apple Store. The app offers enhanced data granularity and accessibility, supporting adaptive algorithms that track motor decline and predict future care needs. Future work will validate the tool against standardized ALS measures and explore its reliability and predictive power for clinically relevant milestones. READ MORE 2024 NEALS Conference Machine Learning Model Predicts Listener Effort in ALS-related Dysarthria Indu Navar (EverythingALS), Esteban G. Roitberg (Universidad Nacional de San Martín and EverythingALS), Julian Peller (Humai and EverythingALS), Marcos A. Trevisan (Universidad de Buenos Aires and CONICET), Diego E. Shalom (Universidad de Buenos Aires and CONICET), Felipe Aguirre (EverythingALS), Gastón Bujía (EverythingALS), Iair Embon (EverythingALS), Alan Taitz (SRI International), Raquel Norel (IBM Research), Carla Agurto (IBM Research), Donna Harris (Temple University), Amy Wright (EverythingALS), Katie Seaver (EverythingALS), Stacey Sullivan (EverythingALS), Jordan R. Green (MGH Institute of Health Professions), Lyle W. Ostrow (Temple University), Ernest Fraenkel (MIT), and James D. Berry (Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School) Abstract This study applies machine learning (ML) to predict Listener Effort (LE), a key measure of speech impairment in ALS-related dysarthria. Using 2,124 speech recordings from 125 participants (105 pALS, 20 controls) and manual LE ratings by Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) with excellent inter-rater reliability, ML models demonstrated robust predictive capabilities. A simple Lasso regression model achieved an R² of 0.83, with Speaking Rate and Whisper Confidence identified as the two most significant features. Advanced ensemble models achieved even higher accuracy (R² of 0.94). These findings highlight the potential of ML in quantifying LE, offering scalable and reliable tools to track ALS progression and evaluate therapeutic interventions. READ MORE 2024 MND Conference A Novel Web App-Based Assessment of Cognition in ALS Using Speech Indu Navar (EverythingALS), Raquel Norel (IBM), Carla Agurto (IBM), Guillermo A. Cecchi (IBM), Bo Wen (IBM), Natalia Luchkina (EverythingALS), Stephanie Henze (EverythingALS), Alan Taitz (EverythingALS), Ahmad Al Khleifat (King’s College London), James Berry (MGH), Sharon Abrahams (University of Edinburgh), and Ammar Al-Chalabi (King’s College London) Abstract This study introduces a web app-based assessment for evaluating cognition in individuals with ALS, inspired by the Edinburgh Cognitive and Behavioral ALS Screen (ECAS). Data from 108 participants, including people with ALS and controls, were analyzed, with a subset completing repeated evaluations. Speech samples collected through picture description tasks were processed using Whisper Open AI for transcription, extracting acoustic and linguistic features. Linear regression models achieved Spearman correlations between 0.32 and 0.51 for predicting cognitive scores. The results highlight the potential of digitized, speech-based cognitive assessments as scalable, accessible alternatives to traditional methods, especially for individuals in remote or underserved areas. Future work will expand cohort size and refine methodologies to enhance accuracy and generalizability. READ MORE 2024 A Roadmap to Incorporating Digital Endpoints in Clinical Trials 2024-2025 Authors and Contributors EverythingALS Industry Consortia members, EverythingALS Scientific Advisory Board, regulatory advisors, and members of the ALS community, including pALS (people with ALS) and cALS (caregivers of people with ALS). The collaborative effort included input from biopharmaceutical professionals, clinicians, technology developers, and advocacy representatives. The acknowledgment section specifically highlights the ALS community's vital role in shaping the research and insights presented. Objective This white paper advocates for the integration of digital health technologies (DHTs) into ALS clinical trials to enhance efficiency, accessibility, and patient-centricity. Traditional endpoints in ALS trials are burdensome and often lead to high attrition and prolonged durations. By leveraging DHTs, trials can enable continuous, remote, and quantitative patient monitoring, thus reducing bias, improving retention, and broadening accessibility. The roadmap outlined emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, agile methodologies, and regulatory alignment to optimize the clinical trial experience for both pALS and cALS. These efforts aim to accelerate innovation, improve disease tracking, and foster a participant-centered research paradigm for ALS care and therapeutics.

I was diagnosed with ALS in April of 2023. After two years of wondering why I was losing weight and strength, a paramedic friend told me to see a neurologist. After doing so, I received the bad news. I keep a positive outlook as much as I can, but staying busy seems to keep my mind off of it and works the best.

Austen Speech Study EverythingALS is building an active, growing citizen research participants to draw from the community of over 7,000 People with ALS and Caregivers who collaborate directly with leading minds at eminent research institutions, jointly executing IRB-approved studies with EverythingALS for digital biomarker research to detect subtypes of ALS progression, early diagnosis and for remote patient monitoring. Aims: Collect Data Create Objective Measures Creation of a robust, longitudinal data collection - DEI achieved Fostering engagement Data & Research Output: Cohort characteristics 1200 HOURS OF DATA 7000 SESSIONS 850 PARTICIPANTS Citizen Driven Rapid Recruitment EverythingALS implemented a grassroots effort to recruit participants from our patient support community. With a reach that expands to 7,000 email subscribers, over 300,000 YouTube viewers, and 5,000 total attendees to our weekly Fireside Chats and ALS Expert Talk Series presentations, our organic method of recruitment is built on the solid reputation EverythingALS.org has secured by gaining patient trust as a leader in the research field. The membership comprises people with ALS in different stages or diagnoses, their caregivers, and healthy research participants (controls). Broad Geographic Distribution In collaboration and consultation with people with lived experiences with ALS (pALS and cALS) and in collaboration with leading clinical research experts and clinicians treating people with ALS, EverythingALS was convinced that the gaps could be filled by taking the tests out of the clinic and taking them to the participants, in their own homes. This new methodology, rooted in remote monitoring, sensor-driven data capture, and human experience support, hopes to foster engagement and collaboration between pALS, caregivers, researchers, and drug companies through an open-innovation platform approach to further studies using other digital data capture modalities beyond speech. This allowed for pALS from all over the country to contribute to the Austen Study. Ethnic Inclusion Access and Equity Remote study engagement, driven by diverse content marketing and awareness-raising of the EverythingALS mission and Citizen-driven research, has consistently delivered greater participant diversity compared with natural history study demographics performed on-site. However, recruitment and participation among African Americans remain lower than desired to achieve representation targets among all major ethnicities. EverythingALS is committed to improving this representation through direct feedback and guidance from black and African American participants, as well as collaborating with key stakeholders in engaging African American potential participants.” Request access to the Open Data Submit
