Leo/Conditions/Epilepsy

Epilepsy. Built for the neurologist visit.

Six seizure types, structured aura and post-ictal capture, a seizure-free streak with personal best, and a safety planner that tracks your state's driving-eligibility requirements. Everything in a form your epileptologist can read in ten seconds.

The condition

A spectrum of seizure disorders — defined by patterns, not single events.

Epilepsy affects roughly 50 million people worldwide. The current International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) framework classifies seizures first by onset — focal, generalized, or unknown — then by motor and awareness characteristics. Treatment runs on patterns: which seizures, how often, what the triggers look like, how well a given medication is working. The neurologist appointment is fifteen minutes; the gap between visits is months.

Leo's hub is designed for that gap. It doesn't detect seizures and it doesn't predict them. It captures them honestly, in the categories your neurologist already uses, and surfaces a safety planner for the parts of life — driving, swimming, work — that epilepsy reshapes.

The seizure log

One log, twelve fields, ready for the next appointment.

Every seizure gets its own structured record. The six types map to the most common ILAE buckets your neurologist's notes already use:

Tonic-clonic
Focal aware
Focal impaired awareness
Absence
Myoclonic
Atonic

The full field set per log:

Type
Pick one of six ILAE-aligned categories
Severity
1–10 slider at the time of the event
Start time
Back-dateable, with quick presets (30m ago / 1h ago / earlier today)
Duration
Minutes, captured per event.
Aura / warning
Free-text description of pre-seizure signs you noticed
Awareness
Loss of consciousness toggle
Witness present
Yes / no — useful when the log is being filled in afterward
Post-ictal symptoms
Confusion · Fatigue · Headache · Muscle ache · Sleepiness — multi-select
Recovery time
Minutes from seizure end to feeling back to baseline
Rescue medication
Free-text name and dose if anything was administered
Triggers
10 tags including missed medication, poor sleep, stress, illness, alcohol, flashing lights, hormonal
Notes
Anything else — context, injuries, what bystanders saw
The diary view is a month calendar with a per-month summary — total seizures, type breakdown, and a type-color-coded list of events. Tap any entry to see the full record.
The safety planner

Track the parts of life epilepsy reshapes — and check them back off.

The planner is a single screen that surfaces the practical decisions epilepsy creates — driving eligibility, swimming safety, workplace accommodations, when you last saw your neurologist. Update it every time something changes:

State driving eligibility
Pick your state and the seizure-free duration your DMV requires (3 / 6 / 12 / 24 months). The planner tracks against your streak.
Medical alert bracelet
Checklist item. Lives next to your other safety steps.
Emergency contacts current
Toggle confirming your emergency contacts are still up to date. (An offline ER seizure card is on the roadmap — see below.)
Swimming safety plan
Buddy system, no solo swimming — the basics, on a checklist.
School / work seizure action plan
Document that your school nurse or workplace has the right plan on file.
Workplace accommodations
Employer-notification toggle plus a free-text field for the specific accommodations you have.
Last neurologist visit
Date, so you can see whether you're overdue for follow-up.
The hub

Six cards on one screen, three pinned labs.

Open the hub and the streak counter is the first thing you see. Quick actions for logging a seizure, opening the diary, or jumping to the safety planner sit underneath. The cycle card surfaces if you track one.

Seizure-free streak

Current streak in days, plus your personal best — the metric your epileptologist cares most about.

Monthly count

Total this month, broken down by severity. Compare visit-to-visit at a glance.

Type distribution

How the six seizure types are split across your recent log.

Recent seizures

Last five events with timestamp, type, and severity.

Cycle phase

If you track a cycle, current phase is shown.

Safety planner

One tap to the safety screen — driving status, swimming, work accommodations, last neurologist visit.

Labs pinned to the epilepsy pack: CBC · CMP · Liver. Routine monitoring for most antiepileptic regimens. Out-of-range values are flagged. AED-specific drug-level panels aren't in the default pin set yet (see backlog).

What it isn't

The list of things we'd like to ship, and haven't yet.

Epilepsy is a deep specialty with decades of standards and devices. The hub today is intentionally focused — log, streak, rescue, safety planner. The list below is what it doesn't do yet. Every item is on the feature-parity tracker, and this page updates as items ship.

◦ Not yet
Live seizure-onset timer

Today duration is entered after the fact. A one-tap start-timer surface for a caregiver to use during the event is on the list.

◦ Not yet
AED adherence tracking

Antiepileptic-drug adherence is the single largest controllable seizure trigger. Today AEDs are logged via the general medications surface; an epilepsy-specific adherence card with missed-dose flagging isn't built.

◦ Not yet
Drug-level (serum concentration) tracking for narrow-therapeutic-index AEDs

Phenytoin, carbamazepine, valproate. Default labs are CBC/CMP/Liver only — a dedicated AED-levels panel isn't pinned yet.

◦ Not yet
Offline emergency seizure card

Gastroparesis has an offline ER card today; the epilepsy version (type, current meds, first-aid instructions for bystanders, when to call 911) isn't built. The Safety Planner is the closest current surface.

◦ Not yet
Epilepsy-specific PDF report card

Seizure frequency chart, type distribution, streak history, trigger summary, medication timeline as one shareable doc. Today exports go through the general Leo health report path.

◦ Not yet
VNS / RNS / DBS device tracking

Vagus-nerve and responsive-neurostimulator settings logging — not built.

◦ Not yet
Ketogenic / MAD diet support

Diet therapy for refractory epilepsy isn't a dedicated surface.

◦ Not yet
Trigger correlation engine

Triggers are tagged per event today; the hub shows recent events but doesn't auto-correlate (e.g., "poor sleep precedes 60% of your seizures"). Frequency view is on the backlog.

◦ Not yet
SUDEP awareness page

Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy is part of the standard patient education; Leo doesn't yet ship a dedicated SUDEP-awareness surface.

◦ Not yet
Pediatric weight-based rescue dosing

Rescue-protocol page references the standard rescue meds; weight-based pediatric dosing isn't shipped.

Leo does not diagnose epilepsy, doesn't classify your seizure syndrome, doesn't detect seizures, and doesn't dose rescue medication. The hub describes what you've logged. Medication, surgical, device, and dietary-therapy decisions belong with your neurologist or epileptologist.
