Did you hear? Seer published their 50th research paper

In this follow up research interview, we were kindly joined by Dr Ewan Nurse and Rachel Stirling to discuss the impact of Seer's research in light of our 50th research paper milestone. This is no small feat and we are here to tell you why.

Seer's research into epilepsy spans across different focus areas — primarily home video-EEG-ECG monitoring (for seizure investigations) and seizure cycles (for epilepsy management). Empowering medical professionals and people with epilepsy alike is part of the mission here at Seer. Equipping doctors with the tools and resources to manage and care for patients is one part of the job and supporting people living with epilepsy by creating tools that help them better manage their lives is the other part of the job. We've made significant strides in these 50 papers, but our work is far from finished.

We are immensely proud to be acknowledging this milestone today. Thank you to everyone who contributed to each and every paper. Research is highly collaborative by nature and we would not be here today without the many co-authors and collaborators, from across the world, who contributed to this research.

Happy Purple Day! Today is dedicated to raising awareness for epilepsy worldwide. Founded by Cassidy Megan in 2008, Purple Day is a grassroots campaign to help raise awareness and support those living with the condition. Whether you're impacted by epilepsy or not, we can all play a part in raising awareness. Social media is a powerful tool for achieving this — you can help by sharing interesting content, wearing purple, and simply talking about epilepsy.

Two thirds of people living with epilepsy will gain seizure control on medication. However, most anti-seizure medications will have side effects, some of which significantly impact quality of life. It's not uncommon for people living with epilepsy to say that the side effects are worse than the seizures.
The effects vary depending on the type and combination of medication but sleepiness, stomach aches, and dizziness are common. Medications can also affect attention and concentration which are critical to the formation of strong, vivid memories.** Empathy, kindness, and awareness can go a long way when understanding these daily effects people taking anti-seizure medication live with.

Many people with epilepsy will report feeling like a burden on their family or friends because of their epilepsy. Reasons why can differ from person to person, but for people who can't drive because of their epilepsy, relying on family or friends for a car ride is a common cause of this feeling.
It's likely many of us take driving for granted. Without a driver's licence, people lose their sense of freedom and independence — getting from A to B can become much more challenging.

Little-known truths about epilepsy for

When you discover that someone you know has epilepsy, you can help them feel more comfortable by understanding a few things about their condition.

For some people with epilepsy, drinking alcohol can be complicated. Not only can alcohol interfere with anti-seizure medications, it can also impact sleep quality. Recent Seer research has shown that for some people with epilepsy, disrupted and inconsistent sleep can be a trigger for seizures.
Binge drinking is also an area of concern for medical professionals, impacting one's risk of seizures.

The anxiety and fear of having a seizure can also be reason enough for people to not drink alcohol at all.

Drinking culture is embedded in Australia. It's important we respect people's decision not to drink alcohol or limit their drinking — regardless of their reasons — and create social environments where people who avoid alcohol don't feel left out.

When we asked our community what they wished people knew about epilepsy, there was an overwhelming response around education on seizure types. Did you know that seizures caused by epilepsy aren't always convulsive events? Seizures can present in a variety of ways including daydreaming, eyes fluttering, blank expressions, anxiety, and even weakness.
The simple knowledge that seizures exist in different forms helps to spread awareness and break the stigma associated with the condition.

International Epilepsy Day is the second Monday in February every year. More than 130 countries come together to promote awareness of epilepsy by hosting events, running campaigns, and more generally, to celebrate the inspiring stories of people who live with epilepsy.

This year's focus is . Stigma has surrounded epilepsy for centuries and can cause harm to the physical, mental, and social wellbeing of a person with epilepsy.

Reducing stigma can start with a simple conversation — talk to someone about epilepsy, share something you learned about the condition, do some research. Every little conversation with the right information helps break the stigma.

Jade had her first seizure when she was 9 years old. She described it as a bad dream. After some similar events, her family doctor comfortably suspected epilepsy and sent her on her way for a diagnosis by a neurologist.

Jade’s journey to a final diagnosis has been a long road. Initially, she was told she has epilepsy, no particular type. It warms our hearts to know that it was through home monitoring at Seer last year that Jade achieved a diagnosis of focal epilepsy. A weight lifted off her chest — empowering her to speak about her condition with more confidence and awareness.

Jade has found comfort in talking about her epilepsy more openly. In fact, she only spoke about it for the first time at an epilepsy event last year. ‘It doesn’t have to be a lonely thing’ — Jade hopes everyone can find the courage to talk about their epilepsy because it’s not something anyone should process alone.

Thank you for sharing your story, Jade. Moments by Seer is an interview series seeking to spread awareness about epilepsy. Through honest and heartfelt conversations, these interviews explore how epilepsy impacts and affects people differently. Join us in spreading awareness and share Jade's story with your network.
