"Johns Hopkins researchers to use Apple Watch data to study epilepsy"
http://hub.jhu.edu/2015/10/15/apple-watch-epiwatch
Finally an "APP" worth the time of day.
Hopefully all patients with epilepsy can get one.

Johns Hopkins researchers today introduced EpiWatch, an app designed to collect data from patients with epilepsy before, during, and after their seizures. The app, which runs on Apple Watch and iPhone, uses the open source ResearchKit framework designed by Apple.
The data gathered for the study by the app—including physiological changes, altered responsiveness, and other characteristics of recurrent seizures—will be used by researchers to better understand epilepsy, to develop new methods for (and determine the role of technology in) monitoring and managing the disorder. More than 2.5 million people are living with epilepsy in the United States.
Finally an "APP" worth the time of day.
