Clinical review
Reviewer: Sarah Wang, Pharmacist
Date of review: May 2025
Platform: Android
Version: 35
Comments: The Epilepsy Health app is a free tool designed for individuals with epilepsy, offering features like a seizure diary, emergency alerts, and multilingual support in English, Hindi and Telugu. You shouldn't rely solely on the app for emergency response, as it's not a substitute for professional medical supervision or emergency response. At the time of review, some functions, like the medication reminders, appear to be blocked by the app developer. While the app has a simple interface, it may feel outdated or lack advanced features found in more modern apps.
Safety concerns: The emergency alert feature may not work if you're outside your phone’s network coverage.
