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.

Just in: Seer’s 50th publication of peer-reviewed epilepsy research

This month, Seer celebrates a milestone which is at the heart of what we do and why we exist — the publication of our 50th scientific paper. This occasion reflects Seer’s unwavering dedication to advancing our collective understanding of epilepsy and commitment to improving the patient experience of those living with epilepsy.

Prof Mark Cook AO, Dr Pip Karoly, and Dr Ewan Nurse from Seer’s research and development team joined us to reflect on the milestone and the major research breakthroughs. 

Seer is immensely proud to be acknowledging this moment and would like to extend a sincere thanks to the many co-authors and collaborators, from across the world, who united to publish this research.

Happy Purple Day! Today is dedicated to raising awareness for epilepsy worldwide. Founded by Cassidy Megan @purpledaymarch26 in 2008, Purple Day is a grassroots campaign to help 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.
