LLC - Logical Link Control , the leading provider of personal health monitoring solutions, announced today that its advanced seizure tracking software, EpiTrax, is now available to the public. The easy-to-use, downloadable application will give patients with epilepsy and their loved ones the ability to track, analyze and report on every detail of their seizure activity, while offering their physicians additional information to help diagnose seizures and apply proper therapies. EpiTrax costs $49.99 and can be downloaded from the NeoMed Software web site at www.neomedsoft.com. EpiTrax was designed with the understanding that good seizure control - and hence, a better quality of life - starts with good information. EpiTrax gives each user the ability to store all information about their seizures and possible seizure triggers in one place, where it is easily viewable and accessible. Designed for simplicity, EpiTrax includes more than 40 features to help individuals manage information about their seizure activity, including the ability to: * Record detailed information about individual seizures and seizure clusters, such as their duration, their characteristics, their auras (if any) and whether a loss of consciousness or control occurred. * Track detailed information about numerous seizure triggers, such as exercise, mood, sleep patterns, school activities, vitamins and supplements, diet and more. * Generate and print five reports that visually display a) the times of day that seizures have occurred; b) the days of the week that seizures have occurred; c) the trend of seizures over time; d) medication and its effect on seizure activity; and e) the correlations between recorded triggers and seizures. Each report can be printed, exported to Microsoft Excel (tool) Microsoft Excel - A spreadsheet program from Microsoft, part of their Microsoft Office suite of productivity tools for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh.
