Common data elements for epilepsy mobile health systems.

Objective

Common data elements (CDEs) are currently unavailable for mobile health (mHealth) in epilepsy devices and related applications. As a result, despite expansive growth of new digital services for people with epilepsy, information collected is often not interoperable or directly comparable.

Significance

Although it is not exclusive, we believe that the use of a minimal common info
