Abstract

An epileptic seizure can be defined as a disturbance of consciousness, motor function, sensation, emotion, and behavior. The seizures can affect almost all aspects of life, such as lifestyle, health, education, and employment. Without a proper tool, epilepsy patient and caregiver finds difficulty in managing and monitoring epilepsy. The caregivers’ lifestyle is also affected when the patient strongly dependent on them. By using current technology, which is a mobile phone, MyEpiPal application will be implemented to solve these problems. MyEpiPal will act as a self-management and monitoring tool that can support the epilepsy patient and the caregiver. This application also will enable them to monitor side-effects and effectiveness of antiepileptic medicine, predict the possibility of seizure attack, and improve the quality of life. A fully functional mobile application will be a supportive tool for monitoring and managing epilepsy patient.
