The 20 absence seizures your patient had during math class won't appear in a seizure diary.
Pediatric epilepsy generates a constant stream of clinical signals — seizures at school, medication side effects that look like behavior problems, developmental changes that might be the disease or the treatment — yet caregivers are asked to reconstruct weeks of events from memory at quarterly visits. In rural settings, the nearest pediatric neurologist is hours away, and the daily data that would transform a telehealth call goes uncaptured. Forma captures this signal.

How it works
15 seconds of speech. 25 data points.
Forma turns each caregiver into a continuous data source. By voice or text, parents log seizure events with type and context, medication doses and side effects, school attendance and in-school seizures, developmental changes, sleep patterns, and healthcare access barriers in under a minute. No forms, no recall bias — and voice is essential because these parents are logging at 2am after a seizure, or in the car after a school nurse call. The result is a structured, longitudinal dataset that pairs seizure frequency with medication timing, school impact with seizure type, and developmental trajectories with treatment changes — visible to the neurologist before the next telehealth call.
