APPS THAT HELP DETECT SEIZURES, TREAT STROKES
NEW YORK: These new apps on your smartphone may help you detect epileptic seizures and get better stroke treatment. After several tests on people in India and Nepal, researchers have developed an epilepsy app that helps non-doctors determine if a person is having an epileptic seizure. “It can often be difficult to determine whether someone is having an epileptic seizure. This app would help health professionals evaluate and make the diagnosis, especially when doctors are not available,” said study author Victor Patterson, a neurologist from Belfast, Britain. . IANS
