How we create and review our epilepsy content

Who publishes this site

Epilepsy Mate is a seizure diary and medication-tracking app built by Itixis. Alongside the app, we maintain a small article library on epilepsymate.com.

The library exists for one reason: to give people living with epilepsy and their caregivers clear, plain-language information grounded in reputable public medical sources. We are a software company, not a medical organization, and nothing on this site replaces professional care.

How our articles are written

Articles are drafted with AI assistance under a strict editorial rulebook that governs structure, reading level, terminology and, above all, medical safety. Every draft must be grounded exclusively in public medical sources:

• Primary sources: MedlinePlus, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), and the CDC.
• Cross-checks: the WHO, the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE), the Epilepsy Foundation, the Epilepsy Society (UK), the NHS, and the Mayo Clinic.

Every article lists its sources at the end, and every sentence is original prose — we never copy text from the organizations we cite. Translations follow the English original faithfully rather than rewriting it.

What our content never does

Our editorial rulebook forbids certain content outright. Our articles never:

• give dosage, titration, or drug-choice advice — drug classes may be described, but we never recommend a specific medication;
• diagnose anyone, or suggest changing treatment without talking to a doctor;
• claim that Epilepsy Mate detects, predicts, or alerts on seizures — it is a diary, and it does none of those things;
• deviate from standard first aid: emergency guidance always follows accepted recommendations, including calling emergency services when a seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes.

Review status

We label our content honestly. Each article carries two flags: whether it was drafted with AI assistance, and whether a human has reviewed it.

Medical review by a named clinician is currently being established. As those reviews are completed, articles will show a “medically reviewed” byline with the reviewer’s name and the review date. Until an article carries that byline, please treat it as carefully sourced general information — not clinician-verified text — and confirm anything important with your care team.

Corrections

If you spot an error, tell us at support@epilepsymate.com. We check every report against our sources, correct confirmed mistakes in all six languages, and show the updated date on the corrected article.

This is not medical advice

Nothing on this site is medical advice. Our articles are general information and cannot account for your individual situation — decisions about diagnosis and treatment belong with you and your doctor. Read our full medical disclaimer.
