An Incredible Tool for Tracking Seizure Activity
Hollingsworth, Jan Carter
Exceptional Parent, v37 n7 p30-31 Jul 2007
Eric Schumacher knows all too well the trials and tribulations of tracking seizures and daily activities in the ongoing attempt to gain seizure control. Diagnosed with epilepsy in his teens, he is now bringing a new and innovative tool to the market that could help countless people with epilepsy gain better control over their seizures and thus achieve a higher quality of life. EpiTrax is a software application designed to improve the lives of individuals with epilepsy and seizures. The program allows users to record daily journal logs with a multiple-choice answer format as well as a place to make general notes about everything from seizure episodes to daily activities. It allows the user to analyze seizure trends as well as possible correlations between seizures and seizure triggers, and, finally, to generate reports that can be taken or emailed to an individual's doctor or shared with friends and family that are team members in a person's seizure control plan. The software includes a place to make notes from recent visits to the doctor and a place to jot down questions and comments that might need to be addressed with the doctor on the next visit. It also offers the flexibility of recording thoughts and feelings or other notes in free-form fields. Uploading files, such as documents, spreadsheets, or graphic files, is also a handy feature, and these can be stored along with journal entries. (Contains 5 illustrations.)
