Clinical review
Reviewer: Jeremy Steinberg, GP Registrar, RNZCGP Date of review: December 2017 Comments: "This app is useful for people who suffer from seizure disorders and their caregivers. Users can track seizure trends, monitor and compare treatment response, identify potential triggers, receive medication reminders and more effectively share data with their doctor. This is a very high quality journal application that allows users to easily log seizures and related information. Users can note whether rescue medication was used, seizure type, possible triggers, activity and location (all customisable). The app has good data visualisation. For people undertaking a ketogenic diet, they can track ketone levels and compare levels with seizures. This app appears to have had input from doctors during its development." Safety concerns: None New Zealand relevance: No concerns
Clinical review
Reviewer: Kinu McCarthy, Epilepsy Speciality Clinical Nurse Date of review: March 2018 Comments: "This app is useful for patients with epilepsy, their support persons, and clinician. The app makes it easy for patients to record their seizure frequency and to produce reports, and for clinicians to see seizure trends. However, from a usability perspective, it is difficult to press the seizure button when you are having seizure with altered awareness, so the recorded time and duration of the seizure might not be accurate. Also an editing option for alarm setting for medication reminder would be helpful." Safety concerns: None New Zealand relevance: No concerns
Formal MARS review
The formal app review is based on the Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS) developed by researchers at Queensland University of Technology, Australia.(1) It is designed to score apps on a few comprehensive dimensions — engagement, functionality, aesthetics, and information quality. Each dimension comprises several items which are rated on a 5-point scale from “1. Inadequate” to “5. Excellent”.
