Manually add a seizure in the Seizure Diary

In your Seizure Diary, you’ll find a record of all confirmed seizures detected by EpiMonitor during your daily life.

Additionally, you can also manually log seizure events in your Seizure Diary to track seizures that occurred when EpiMonitor wasn’t worn, or for types of seizure that EpiMonitor cannot detect. For more details on which types of seizures EpiMonitor can detect, please refer to our article: Types of Seizures EpiMonitor Can Detect.

In the next section, we’ll cover how to manually add a seizure in your Seizure Diary.

The more details you provide in the seizure review, the more accurate and informative the seizure diary will be.
