Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview

599
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease marked by recurrent, unpredictable seizures. These seizures are caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, leading to behavior, sensation, or consciousness alterations. They can also cause transient impairment of awareness, interfering with daily activities.
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Mobile health apps can aid epilepsy self-management, but most have low installation rates. Improving these epilepsy apps requires stakeholder involvement and better promotion for wider patient benefit.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Digital Health
  • mHealth

Background:

  • Patients with epilepsy (PWEs) are encouraged towards self-management (SM).
  • Mobile health (mHealth) applications offer potential to enhance SM for chronic conditions like epilepsy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review freely available epilepsy self-management (eSM) apps.
  • To identify the SM domains covered by these eSM apps.

Main Methods:

  • Searched Google Play and App Store for epilepsy/seizure apps (May-August 2018).
  • Included free, English-language apps related to eSM.
  • Excluded apps with installation issues or unrelated to eSM.

Main Results:

  • Identified 22 eSM apps across iOS and Android platforms.
  • Most apps featured seizure tracking (n=22) and seizure response (n=19).
  • Top apps by installation (e.g., Epilepsy Journal) focused on specific SM domains; apps covering more domains had lower installations.

Conclusions:

  • mHealth apps for epilepsy SM are available but underutilized.
  • App features vary, making a single recommendation difficult.
  • Recommendations include stakeholder involvement in development, usability analysis, and increased app promotion.
