What this trial studies
This observational study implemented by Vestre Viken Hospital Trust allows patients with epilepsy to report their health status digitally through standardized questionnaires every six months. The responses are monitored by an epilepsy nurse, who coordinates further follow-up with medical professionals as needed. The study aims to evaluate the impact of this user-controlled follow-up on patient outcomes and healthcare resource utilization by comparing data from national registries. The ultimate goal is to establish this method as a national standard for epilepsy care in Norway.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance patient engagement and improve clinical outcomes for individuals with epilepsy.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown positive outcomes with similar patient-reported outcome measures in chronic disease management, indicating potential success for this approach.
