Living with epilepsy is hard at the best of times, but in poor countries where the disorder is often poorly understood and treatments are scarce, it can be deadly. Bhutan, a country of nearly a million people, doesn’t have a single neurologist, for example. But a new project, funded by the Canadian government, aims to use a standard Android smartphone to help diagnose epilepsy anywhere.
The Epilepsy Network is a worldwide community of people with epilepsy, family and friends, uniting to talk about their experiences, learn information about epilepsy, ask questions and so much more! Don’t let epilepsy defeat you, let it inspire you!
I absolutely love this concept. I’ve had so many EEG’s and I’ve never had a seizure when I was connected to a EEG. They diagnosed me with Epilepsy due to a malignant brain tumor. Well I actually got into a car accident and ran into a tree and that’s when they did their first MRI. After 15 years I never had a seizure in front of a doctor until 2 weeks ago I was in the ER for a completely different reason and I shocked the ER doctor. I had to have my husband explain it to him. But I think this concept and having record of it on your phone is absolutely wonderful
