EpSMon: A personal tracking tool
EpSMon app
Check. Track. Live.
EpSMon is a personal tracking tool for people with epilepsy. It’s designed for adults to help them review data and track their condition between doctors’ appointments.
EpSMon stands for epilepsy self-monitoring. The app was created by SUDEP Action, in collaboration with Cornwall Foundation NHS Trust.
Seizures are different for everyone. This easy-to-use app will help you track things, providing key information for both you and your epilepsy health professional.
Research has shown there are key risk factors that can affect your seizure control and safety, and that these change over time. EpSMon allows you to keep important information in one place, so you can review and share it.
It’s your personal epilepsy record, helping you keep track of data.

Developed by experts
EpSMon uses the same management approach that is built into the SUDEP and Seizure Safety Checklist – a tool created to support positive epilepsy risk discussions between clinicians and their patients, recommended by NHS RightCare and used by more than 2,000 clinicians nationally.
The EpSMon app has been reviewed and developed by SUDEP Action in conjunction with a Checklist Development Group of leading epilepsy experts.

“In 2011 our son Charlie had a seizure, and four days later he had a second seizure which unfortunately was fatal. We wish we’d known more about epilepsy before we lost Charlie and it’s sadly taken him losing his life for us to be aware of how important it is to have important conversations about epilepsy.”
Jan & Barrie BurnsCo-founders of Charlie’s Star charity
“The majority of the population has access to smartphones, particularly the younger age group who are more at risk of SUDEP and death from seizures, so that approach led to the development of EpSMon – which is an app-based self-assessment tool.”
Dr Brendan McLeanConsultant Neurologist, Royal Cornwall Hospital
“In this world where we need to democratise clinical care, we need to empower patients, and we have the tools for that through mobile phone apps.”
Professor Rohit ShankarConsultant Neuropsychiatrist, Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
“EpSMon helps me keep an eye on things. Reminders when taking meds are always useful.”
