SeizureStrong
A daily log for parents of a child with epilepsy — so you can see how medication, triggers and your own load are trending, and walk into every neurology appointment with real data.
1 Kwan, P., & Brodie, M. J. (2000). Early identification of refractory epilepsy. In a large prospective cohort, about two-thirds of patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy became seizure-free on the first or second antiepileptic drug they tried.
The problem
Every day is a small exercise in vigilance — watching for auras, counting doses, scanning for triggers, sleeping with one ear open. Then a seizure happens and the last month of calm, careful work vanishes in your memory behind the sound of your own child falling. The next appointment is in six weeks and you can barely remember what you wanted to ask.
Without a clear picture, it becomes very easy to second-guess a medication that is actually working, mistake normal variation for regression, or arrive at neurology with a story that doesn't match the data. The parent doing the daily work deserves a picture of the whole month, not just the worst hour.
Epilepsy moves in clusters and pauses. A good stretch. A bad night. Side effects that fade. Triggers that almost repeat. Day to day it's chaos. Over months there is usually a pattern — if you can hold it still long enough to see it.
The Timeline turns your daily check-ins and seizure logs into a trend line across weeks and months. You'll see event frequency, medication changes, sleep, and your own load laid out side by side — so the next appointment starts from evidence, not memory.
Sleep, illness, missed doses, heat, stress, screens, growth spurts — any of them can matter. With so many possible variables, it's nearly impossible to hold a useful picture in your head week to week.
The Pattern Engine cross-references your daily entries to surface which inputs correlate with higher-event days. Example insights might look like "events are more common on days after short sleep" or "breakthroughs cluster around illness weeks" — drawn from your own logs.
Parents of children with epilepsy often carry a private narrative that they should have prevented the last seizure — noticed the aura, skipped the trigger, adjusted the dose. The research is clear: a seizure is not the result of missed parenting.
Perspective Shift cards deliver short, research-backed reframes grounded in the paediatric epilepsy literature. Each card pairs what you're feeling with what clinicians and researchers actually say about control, triggers, the role of medication, and what parents can and cannot prevent.
Paper seizure diaries disappear between appointments. The daily check-in is 30 seconds: a few sliders, an optional note, one tap to mark an event. That's all.
The Daily Log is designed for exhausted parents. Mark events in seconds, rate how the day went, move on. Those 30 seconds become the data that powers the Timeline, the Patterns, and the summary you can hand the neurologist at the next visit.
Fast enough after a bad night. That's how trends get built.
Bring a picture of the whole month to every appointment, not just your best memory of it.
All data stays on your device. No accounts, no servers, no analytics.
SeizureStrong is for the parent listening for the sound of a seizure in the middle of the night — the person doing the vigilance nobody else counts.
