Epilepsy Storylines app is here

Living Well With Epilepsy has launched a new mobile and web app just in time for Purple Day. The app, called Epilepsy Storylines, is designed to help people living with epilepsy as they manage their daily routines and communicate with their caregivers. This app is possible thanks to a partnership with Self Care Catalysts.

Epilepsy Storylines is free for all users. It is available on the Web and on Google Play™. Epilepsy Storylines will also be available from the App Store℠ for phone and tablet in the coming weeks.

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.

What can the app do?

Track Seizures – Record frequency and gain insights

Learn about Seizure First-Aid – Learn about the 4Rs of seizure response

Record Appointments – Note down all appointments to stay organized

Track medication – Add multiple medications and set reminders

Track Daily Mood – Track your own emotional health

Create your circle of support – Share your story with your loved ones

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!
