Epsy: Seizure Log for Epilepsy 12+

Best app I have used

I have tried other apps to remind me to take my medication on time, as I have Chiari Malformation and Hydrocephalus as well, and since my surgery my memory is not the best, very forgetful. So I love the reminders that are separate from the other things scheduled in your day so I stay focused. I have tried the app epiwatch by Hopkins University and I thought that would be a great app but it's difficult to use to track seizures, and has a lot of bug fixes. This one does not. It works perfectly. It also lets you go back and mark if you forgot to mark that you took the meds. Seizures are easy to mark the times and describe. I would like a few more words than 200 or maybe I am just long winded lol but overall great app you will not be disappointed at all!

Okay So Far

I haven’t used the app very long but I noticed there isn’t a way to track how long the seizure lasts. It gives you the option to track when it starts but not when it ends and for people who have seizure episodes that stop and start back up in the same time frame, it would be nice to have this option that way you can see how over time it trends on a graph. I would like to also see a video recording option so when you have your phone or other device around, you are able to instantly record the episodes and what they look like for doctors to be able to view and give insight. In addition, when you open the app, an automatic timer option should appear so those who need to keep track of how long a seizure has lasted can do so not only for themselves but especially if they are caring for a loved one or patient in addition to if any rescue medications were given and type, dose, etc. Other than this things, the app works well.

great for managing any medications

I take 3 different medications - epilepsy, minipill, and an amplifier supplement. it also helps me keep track when I’m switching my epilepsy medications.

I took stars because I want this feedback to go to heart: make it so I can say I didn’t take or took one late of my medications at any specific time. i’ve, on occasion, run out or lost a pill in the moment and had to go home and get a new one. I want to most accurately track all my medications.

I would also enjoy a widget that shows a little tracker of takens but that’s less of a useage and more of a that would be nice feedback. when I can say one of my medications that I’m supposed to take at the same time as everything else was taken late or not taken, this will get all of my stars. I would also really really enjoy a planning feature where I can say my dose is changing on a specific day. lots of folks have to change their medications, and if I could use epsy to keep track of when these things change instead of my calendar app, that would make the whole experience seamless and totally perfect.

I even rec it to my bipolar friends to track their meds. but as someone who takes more than one thing, it’s super annoying to not be able to accurately track without messing with things.
