Understand patterns. Reduce risk. Prepare for safer care.
Complete the structured assessment to generate an individualised, non-diagnostic support plan for discussion with your epilepsy team.
Your priority pathway
Stay. Safe. Side.
- Stay calm, remain with the person and time the seizure.
- Safe — move hazards away and cushion the head.
- Side — turn them onto their side when possible if not awake and aware.
- Do not restrain them or put anything in their mouth.
- Follow their individual rescue-medication plan if trained.
Epilepsy AI Assessment

Complete each relevant field. Validation messages will be announced to screen readers.
Seizure Action Plan
Create a concise plan for family, carers, school, work or community settings.
Seizure first aid
Stay with the person, time the seizure, keep them safe, and turn them onto their side if they are not awake and aware.
Never: restrain the person, put anything in their mouth, or give food/drink until fully alert.
Seizure Tracker
Record events consistently to support shared decision-making with your clinical team.
Pattern summary

| Date | Type | Duration | Trigger | Injury |
|---|
Medication Support
Track your prescribed regimen and adherence. Never change or stop antiseizure medicine without specialist advice.
Medication safety
Suddenly stopping antiseizure medicine may provoke seizures. Discuss missed doses, side effects, interactions, pregnancy planning and treatment changes with a pharmacist or epilepsy specialist.
Dynamic Lifestyle Intervention
Create an individualised epilepsy-support plan that reflects culture, faith, family life, preferred foods, daily routines, language, affordability and access.
Your lifestyle plan should fit your life
StraddleEpicare adapts recommendations to the person’s routines and cultural context. It does not assume that one diet, one household pattern or one form of self-management works for everyone.
Report & Sharing
Create a clear report from your assessment, action plan and diary.
Epilepsy Education
Core information for safer self-management and informed clinical conversations.
When is a seizure an emergency?
Emergency help is generally needed when a convulsive seizure lasts 5 minutes or longer, seizures repeat without recovery, breathing remains difficult, a serious injury occurs, the seizure occurs in water, the person is pregnant, or it is a first seizure. Follow the individual's prescribed action plan when available.
What should a seizure action plan include?
A description of usual seizures, typical duration and recovery, first-aid instructions, personalised emergency thresholds, rescue medicine directions prescribed by a clinician, and emergency/clinical contacts.
What is SUDEP?
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy is uncommon but important to discuss. Risk is associated particularly with uncontrolled tonic-clonic seizures. Treatment adherence, seizure control, review of night-time seizures and an individualised risk discussion are important.
Can lifestyle changes replace treatment?
No. Sleep, stress management, alcohol reduction and safety planning may support overall management, but prescribed treatment should only be changed with specialist advice.
