Highlights:
Risk factors related to SUDEP that can be obtained from an epilepsy cohort that utilises an online seizure diary tool .
We found that this app-using cohort is at risk for SUDEP based on number of GTCs, even more than published studies. This is a viable approach to expanding our investigation of SUDEP risk factors.
Living with epilepsy is more than just knowing your seizure types, the right medication, and dosage. Apps designed for tackling epilepsy can help you to take a practical approach to your seizures and manage how the condition affects your social, emotional, and physical well-being.
Researchers secure funding to study how ‘game-changing’ technology can improve epilepsy treatment and care. A new study launching today will use revolutionary long term seizure tracking technology to monitor and potentially predict patterns in epileptic seizures using continuous, reliable, and objective data collection of brain activity in people with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Andrea Biondi is a PhD student at King’s College London working on a project led by Professor Mark Richardson, which is supported by the Epilepsy Research UK Memorial Funds. They are investigating whether technology such as an EEG cap and smartwatch used by people with epilepsy in their own homes are reliable and effective methods of seizure forecasting. Here, Andrea explains how this project has great potential to give people more control over their epilepsy.
