Helping ALS Patients

SAP Labs are actively engaged in socially oriented projects that address important issues related to local community, health, and education. SAP Labs Israel, in collaboration with the Prize4Life, have developed an app that helps patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), an incurable neurodegenerative disease. Because ALS progresses quickly, there is no time to research and develop drugs. The application saves data about the progression of the desease to serve future ALS research.
