Are we doctors?

Hey there:

Someone recently asked me whether we are doctors. The answer to that question is "no". We're concerned citizens and people with epilepsy who are just trying to help others with their seizure tracking efforts. That said, our efforts put us in contact with lots of neurologists and epileptologists who provide feedback on our software and help us figure out what sort of information we need to help you gather.

Since we are not doctors, we recommend that you discuss EpiTrax with your doctor. Maybe there is something they specifically want to know that you can capture with our software. Or, maybe they want you to share the reports from the software with them so that together you can come up with a better treatment plan.

Whatever the case, we just want to make sure you understand that EpiTrax is not a tool for supporting self-treatment - it's a tool for gaining a better understanding of your seizures so that you and your doctor can work together to find the best treatment for you.
