Seizure Cycle 1.0

The relationship between hormonal fluctuations, specifically estrogen and progesterone, and seizure activity has been well-documented. Research indicates that approximately one-third of women with epilepsy experience exacerbated seizure activity around menstruation and ovulation. Furthermore, alterations in seizure frequency during pregnancy have also been observed, and contraception may play a role in modulating these frequencies.

This app aims to provide a centralized platform for patients to log their epilepsy history, gynecological history, seizure medications, and contraceptive methods. Users are encouraged to track their seizures alongside their menstrual cycles, enabling the app to identify potential patterns linking cyclic changes to seizure frequency. Should a correlation be established, patients may gain foresight into potential increases in seizure activity corresponding with different phases of their menstrual cycle.

Understanding these patterns holds considerable value for managing epilepsy. By recognizing the cyclical nature of their condition, patients can anticipate periods of heightened seizure risk and possibly implement lifestyle modifications to mitigate such occurrences. This information can facilitate more informed discussions between patients and healthcare providers regarding tailored strategies to manage seizures during times of expected increase.

In addition to tracking vital health parameters related to women's health and seizures, the app features a summary generation tool that allows users to compile their logs for easy reporting to healthcare providers.

It is important to note that while this application provides valuable insights, it does not replace professional medical advice. Users should consult their healthcare providers with any questions or concerns related to their seizures or gynecological health.
