In these modern times, there is practically a smartphone app for all aspects of life. Now, new research has detailed two new apps that could help people detect epileptic seizures and receive better treatment for stroke.
The two new studies will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 66th Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, PA, in April.
For the first study that looks at the creation of the epilepsy app, the research team analyzed 67 people with the condition.
They were asked questions about their seizures, and the researchers used the most useful questions and answers that could predict an epileptic seizure in order to create the app.
The investigators tested the app on 132 individuals with epilepsy in India and Nepal and compared the results with their doctors' diagnoses.
