What is Epilepsy Storylines?

Epilepsy Storylines, provides people with epilepsy and their loved ones the tools they need to use the power of their own story to personalize care, create a support network, and influence the way medicine cares for people with the same condition in the future.

Our early pilot of the solution gave those living with epilepsy an opportunity to provide feedback and make suggestions for improvements. This process and the app itself elicited tremendous feedback and a great deal of enthusiasm for the technology.

Whitney of Changing Focus: Epilepsy Edition is an epilepsy advocate, speaker and blogger. She has had epilepsy for 29 years and was an early adopter of the application. She notes how the app is easy to use and tracks several different types of information relevant to someone living with epilepsy or a caregiver to someone with epilepsy. “I love that the app is so user friendly. It gives me one central place where I can keep track of my medications, my doctor appointments and it even lets me stamp how I’m feeling that day. It will give those living with epilepsy and caregivers a place to go to build their own circle of support to share their personal journey of everyday life. It’s all very similar but very different,” says Whitney.

Benefits

Epilepsy Storylines was created with guidance from people living with epilepsy to support those living with epilepsy and their caregivers to make the best possible daily health decisions based on the self-discovery that the app can enable. This early feedback was critical to ensuring an app that could meet the needs of the epilepsy community.

The Circle of Support allows users to invite who they want, when they want, to include in their circle of support. This can include family, peers and others affected by epilepsy. They can message or share their health data with whomever they choose.

The analytics dashboard can even be shared with their health care provider to enable more informed and focused discussions with a view of real world behaviors over time.

Where in the world is it available?

Currently the app is available in the US and in Canada. We plan to roll it out to additional countries soon!

    My app freezes on my iPhone from time to time. I’ve kept it up to date, and my iPhone pretty clear of clutter but still run into this issue from time to time. Usually if I just close the app and reopen it resolves, sometimes after a few try’s. Then there are days where I can’t get in at all. Have you heard similar issues, even with updates kept current? Is there a way I could access my account online to mark off meds and track the rest of the features your great app has to offer? Thank you for having this out there, it has been a big help to me. If you want to leave your reply here that’s fine, but if I could inconvenience you to send me an email I would really appreciate it. Thank you again all!
