Summary

Epilepsy is a chronic condition affecting approximately 600,000 people in France. Epilepsy treatment relies on antiepileptic drugs, the effectiveness of which depends on adherence to medication schedule, with missed doses increasing the risk of seizures. As with any chronic illness, epilepsy presents a significant challenge in terms of treatment adherence. Furthermore, despite good medication adherence, 30% of patients remain drug-resistant. Therefore, the aim is to create a remote monitoring program, supported by a nurse, lasting six months after the introduction of a new antiepileptic drug, to support the patient until their next appointment with a neurologist. This system would optimize and secure the care pathway during treatment changes by improving the detection of side effects and/or a resurgence of seizures requiring medication adjustments.
