Mobile app that helps one manage epilepsy on the go launched in Mumbai

Nov 2015

The Epilepsy Foundation India has launched an interactive app, HELP, which can be downloaded for free from Google play store. This will send an alert to the doctor and caretaker once the patient suffers a seizure. The patient, in turn, will immediately receive details on his/her medical history, first aid information, do's and don'ts, list of sensitive drugs etc. Launched on a function organized at Bombay Hospital to mark the National Epilepsy Week (Nov 11-17), the app is also aimed at addressing myths associated with the disease. "We wanted to try out something unique that will help dispel misconceptions among general public," said Dr Nirmal Surya, Founder of Epilepsy Foundation adding the app will help monitor the patient's overall health and help them lead a balanced life.
