Sharing diary info with doctors
Fri, 06/11/2010 - 08:04Topic: My Epilepsy Diary
Hi everyone,
Hope you've had a chance to try out the new features of the epilepsy diary. I have a few questions for you... please write in your responses here or email me!
1- Has anyone tried the sharing feature? Has it worked for you and do you find it helpful?
2- Would you allow your doctor or nurse to view your seizure diary if you had the chance?
We are developing the ability to let users share their diary info with their doctors, nurses if they want. It's solely up to each individual to do this, and I wondered what everyone thinks? It can certainly make it easier to share information but it wouldn't be in place of your usual way of communicating with your team.. just an added way of sending information.
I hope you're finding the diary helpful and I 'd love to hear your thoughts on these questions and more!
Best wishes,

Thanks Victoria for the feedback and good point about the notes. People do use the diary esp the notes section differently. That reinforces the reasons why whether or not people share it will be totally up to them. Wishing you all the best, Epi_help Resource Specialist
