Definition of terms.

mHealth epilepsy tool Any digital hardware or software (e.g. via the internet, mobile device, wearable, or desktop platforms) capable of collecting, tracking, or sharing data, while interacting with patients about their epilepsy health information
Common Data Element (CDE) Category of information that is common across multiple tools, using a shared definition of data headings, data format and possible values the data can take.
CDE Compliant An mHealth tool that can import and export all portions of the common data elements (see Appendix). Of note, the tool itself need not necessarily generate every kind of CDE item, but must be capable of import and export of each element, including the ability to “pass through” elements from import to export regardless of if the tool itself does uses any given element.
