Using Technology to Enhance and Optimize Epilepsy Care
People with epilepsy often struggle with many aspects of their disease, including barriers and access to care. With recent changes in technology, there are some new tools that can help optimize access to care. Many people with epilepsy are under driving restrictions and may have other aspects of their health that affect their mobility. Some patients have a significant disability that can make it challenging for them to leave the home. Full story.
Traveling With Epilepsy
Traveling and taking vacations are often a source of great excitement but can also bring anxiety and concerns for people with epilepsy. In most cases people with epilepsy can still travel, however, certain considerations and precautions should be in place. One should consider the type, frequency, and triggers for their seizures prior to planning travel and also consider the location of their destination. Exotic locations with poor access to medical care are likely not ideal for those with active epilepsy. Full story.
