Mobile Application Systematic Review with Respect to Learning Features in Supporting Learners with Epilepsy Disorders
In an educational context, students with epileptic disorders require a series of demands on the epilepsy selfmanagement system. Exposing assistive technology to decrease the risk of seizures and increase self-management awareness of people with epilepsy is critical. In this study, we systematically review mobile-based health applications for features relevant to helping learners with epileptic disorders. In total, there are 47 epilepsy management mobile tools on Google Play that meet the relevance search keywords of software systematic review (SLR). Furthermore, 18 of 47 mobile applications that meet inclusion criteria were reviewed using the Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS). The result showed that from the 18 apps, only half of the apps had any features relevant to epilepsy with adequate quality. Six of them were considered high quality as they met all the MARS standard criteria. Moreover, 40 % of the included apps have incorporated self-efficacy and management features by providing analytical support for seizure frequency, duration, and analysis. This research can make in-person support more feasible for epilepsy learners, helping families, caregivers, and educators to easily manage the risk and provide continuous aid. It can also serve as a foundation for developing more patient-centered software for epilepsy management.
