"The bill will help to modernize and personalize healthcare, to encourage innovation, to support research and to streamline the system in order to deliver better, faster cures to patients. A notable provision included in the bill is the National Neurological Diseases Surveillance System, which is the same text as the Advancing Research for Neurological Diseases Act (H.R. 292/S.849). The data collection system that would be mandated in H.R. 292/ S.849 will create a nationwide system to track the incidence and prevalence of neurological diseases, including MS, which will help researchers examine potential risk factors and triggers for developing MS."
