Takeaway
Online patient education and communication for women with epilepsy regarding therapeutic drug management (TDM) during pregnancy is feasible in this pilot study.
Why this matters
Knowledge among patients on pregnancy-related issues in epilepsy is inadequate, highlighting the need for easily accessible patient education, particularly regarding TDM; in addition, there is greater demand for digital tools given the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Th initial success of online TDM education for pregnant women with epilepsy shows the potential, larger-scale success of remote management for aspects of epilepsy care, with relevance for both hard-to-reach patients and the current COVID pandemic.
