Mobile App Study Using AI to Improve Medication and Transition Readiness for Adolescents and Young Adults with Epilepsy in Florida

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of an AI-personalized mobile app called Medilepsy in improving medication adherence and transition readiness among underserved adolescents and young adults with epilepsy, ages 14 to 24, in Florida. This study compares the AI-enhanced version of the app with a standard version that does not include AI personalization. The research focuses on key outcomes including medical adherence, usability, and language experience. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups the intervention group uses the AI-personalized Medilepsy app with an interactive Smart Chatbot that provides tailored prompts, adaptive education, and personalized support for epilepsy self-management. The comparison group receives a standard version of the Medilepsy app, which offers static prompts and general educational content without personalized feedback. The study lasts 3 to 6 months, during which participants use their assigned app version. During the study, participants will be monitored for medication adherence and transition readiness skills through app usage and assessments. Researchers will evaluate the usability of the app at the end of the 3 to 6 month period. The study collects data on how well the AI features support epilepsy management compared to the standard app version. Safety and participant engagement are also observed throughout the trial duration.
