Telemedicine for Individuals with epilepsy: a comprehensive guide by ILAE Telemedicine Task Force

Epilepsy is one of the most common chronic neurological disorders, with a prevalence of at least 7 to 9 per 1,000 people and an incidence of 67 per 100,000 people per year worldwide [1–3]. The global prevalence of epilepsy is highly variable in different regions of the world, implying that biological, environmental, and health resource-related factors contribute to this observation [4]. In addition, epilepsy is often associated with many somatic and psychiatric comorbidities, further impairing quality of life [5].
