Features of mobile health applications for epilepsy

Features of mobile health applications for epilepsy	Function	Effects of features
Information about epilepsy	The provision of information related to epilepsy and management of medication [18].	Education regarding the disease and treatment of epilepsy patients is very useful for increasing patient knowledge and improving awareness of the patient’s condition [12].
Seizure diary	The provision of information regarding seizures, recording seizure events, time, and duration [16,17].	This feature can also help patients write down seizure triggers. Patients can write down the form of seizures or aura events experienced by epilepsy patients [19].
Reminder drug system	Reminders to take medication according to the schedule or rules prescribed by the doctor; reminders for taking medication can be in the form of an alarm for taking medication as well as a checklist or tracking that can determine medication usage. The drug reminder system can also be added to remind the user to consult or check with a doctor or refill a medication [18].	The medication reminder feature in a mobile health system can increase compliance with medication use [20]. Research by Mirpuri et al. [16] has shown that the use of a mobile health system that uses the drug reminder feature can increase compliance with drug use.
Self-management of epilepsy	This feature contains information on the self-management of epilepsy patients, including lifestyle and other knowledge related to one’s ability to manage/manage epilepsy treatment [15].	Self-management in epilepsy patients refers to the patient’s ability to adapt and adhere to behavioral adjustments necessary to reduce seizure frequency and improve overall health [21,22]. Self-management in epilepsy patients includes a set of skills, including good medication adherence, being able to explain, accurately documenting seizures, practicing seizure prevention measures, adequate rest, and self-management regarding stress levels [22]. Based on previous research, the use of a mobile health system can increase knowledge related to patient self-management [14,15].
Adverse reaction reporting	This feature contains the presentation of complaints from epilepsy patients related to the use of antiepileptic drugs, including undesirable events and other side effects [17].	Submitting complaints due to side effects of using antiepileptic drugs in the mobile health system feature can raise awareness, thereby increasing patient safety and providing information for doctors to consider in administering drugs and their dosage [13]. The side effect reporting feature can also make it more likely for patients to directly report their side effects [17].
