Patients already empowered
Today's standard of care shows damage already done. The Octave Multiple Sclerosis Disease Activity (MSDA) Test reveals active disease biology, giving providers and patients the objective insights to adjust MS therapy with confidence - together.
Clinically validated
Backed by published research, the MSDA Test measures 18 biomarkers to detect MS disease activity and inform real-world care decisions.
Clarity at a glance
One simple number (1-10) gives providers and patients a clear read on current disease activity and tracking it over time helps catch changes early and confirm if the treatment is working.
Act sooner
Today’s standard of care measures damage already done. The MSDA Test reveals what’s happening now, so providers and patients can act sooner.
Using AI, the Octave MSDA Test analyzes 18 of your biomarkers, clinical context, and data from thousands of patients to generate a personalized score from 1 to 10.
Here’s how it works:
The MSDA Test measures the biology of MS disease activity in real time - detecting changes that may not yet appear in symptoms or on imaging.
Better data, better insight, better care. The MSDA Test supports clinical decision‑making by giving providers an objective measure of disease activity to interpret alongside symptoms, medical history, and imaging.
A single score is a snapshot. Tracking activity over time reveals trends, surfaces changes early, and informs whether the current care plan is working or needs revisiting.
MS is just the beginning. Octave is building the future of precision neurology, where no one faces a neurological condition without answers.
The mission: bring clarity and confidence to providers and patients navigating these diseases, with personalized insight across a range of clinical scenarios.

Hear from patients and providers who’ve experienced the difference precision data has made for them
Patient
As a clinician, researcher, advocate and MS patient, I live the challenges of managing MS. The MSDA Test has given me invaluable insights that helped me navigate my own disease while also providing tremendous peace of mind. The Octave MSDA Test is the compass to care that we have been seeking. The ACP is proud of our long-standing partnership with Octave Bioscience. Our collaboration enabled the demonstration of proteomic associations with clinically defined relapse in multiple sclerosis and was crucial for developing the MSDA Test.
Patient
I’ve lived with MS for 22 years. I spent five of them in a wheelchair. I’m not interested in blind spots. The MRI tells you what happened. The MSDA Test tells you what to ask next. Now I test quarterly and bring the results to my neurologist. That’s the tool I never had before.
Neurologist
Establishing a baseline and monitoring disease activity at a regular cadence gives me objective insight I didn’t have before. The data helps me see what’s happening beneath the surface, so I can have more informed conversations with my patients about their care. Longitudinal testing with the MSDA Test has become my standard of care.
Patient
My MRI scans have been stable for two years. My body tells a different story. The Octave MSDA Test helped bridge that gap - turning what I felt but couldn't prove into data I could bring to my neurologist. As a coach, I know you can’t improve what you can’t measure. As an MS patient and advocate, I believe every person living with this disease deserves tools that show the full picture. You are more than your MRI.
