PatientPoint and the Epilepsy Foundation Combine Seizure Safety and Epilepsy Resources

 In a newly announced collaboration, PatientPoint will feature Epilepsy Foundation content on Wait-Time Communication Platform, Interact Exam Room Platform and Provider Access Platform in neurology practices nationwide. The platform will share important seizure first aid information with patients and families in neurology waiting rooms and exam rooms.

"One in 10 people will have a seizure during their lifetime. During a seizure a person may be confused, not aware of what is going on or unconscious. Knowing how to help someone in that instance can make a huge difference," said Brandy Fureman, PhD, chief outcomes officer, Epilepsy Foundation. "Through our collaboration with PatientPoint, we can reach even more people with epilepsy as well as families, caregivers and the general public so that they know how to administer seizure first aid if they witness a seizure and potentially save a life."

"PatientPoint and the Epilepsy Foundation share a common goal of educating, empowering and supporting patients and families, and that shines through in this collaboration," said PatientPoint executive vice president of Content & Creative Kate Merz. "We're honored to work together to share education and support resources at the point of care to help raise awareness of seizure and epilepsy and bring hope to those facing challenges."
