There are a range of tools available, many of which are free, to help people manage epilepsy and seizures. These tools can help ensure your needs are met in a seizure emergency. They can also help you record and keep track of seizures for better seizure control, care and well-being.
This section discusses some of the tools that are available, with links to examples. You can have a chat with your healthcare team and trusted people in your life to discuss which tools might be right for you.
Whether you are a person living with epilepsy, care for someone who does, or are an interested community member, we hope that you find this information useful.
