The Epsy Design Team · CLIENT: Epsy
Epsy is a mobile application designed for people living with epilepsy. Epsy is available as a native app for iOS, Android and Apple Watch. Users can log seizures, medication, side effects and life events, and the data is turned into clear insights to share with doctors. Educational articles support understanding of the condition. Accessibility was a priority, so custom motion and notification controls and seizure-safe patterns were developed. The design was based on extensive user research.

- Operation Flow
- Epsy transforms how people live with epilepsy. Beyond simple medication reminders, it lets users log seizures, side effects, and life events, turning scattered data into clear, actionable insights. With tailored educational resources and articles, Epsy empowers patients to understand their condition, advocate confidently in appointments, and make informed choices about their care. By helping people track, learn, and reflect, Epsy gives users the tools to reclaim control of their lives.
- Research
- Epsy's design research involved extensive user interviews, surveys, usability testing, and user feedback analysis to understand epilepsy's impact on users, such as a survey answered by over 1,100 users. Also including workshops and metric tracking, we generated key insights used to address accessibility challenges including cognitive impairments, resulting in features like custom motion controls and seizure-safe patterns, ensuring a safer, more intuitive, and ultimately better product.
- Inspiration
- We saw a critical gap in how people with epilepsy reach their optimal treatment. Too often, patients lacked clear, reliable data to share with their doctors, slowing adjustments and preventing them from getting the best care quickly. This version of Epsy was built to close that gap. Informed by hundreds of patient interviews, we focused on giving people an intuitive way to track seizures and medication, while prioritizing accessibility and usability for all.
