vCreate Neuro has transformed how we use carer-recorded video in our service. We are diagnosing epilepsy more rapidly and preventing misdiagnosis. Families feel more in control and better connected to the service.     

     vCreate has had a particular impact on our epilepsy surgery programme. Children being evaluated for epilepsy surgery, for whom we can obtain good home videos of their seizures, can sometimes avoid prolonged admissions to hospital to capture seizures on EEG. This speeds up the process of determining whether surgery is an option, a treatment which can potentially cure their epilepsy, and also means that prolonged inpatient investigations are targeted at those children for whom there is no alternative.     

     We found vCreate Neuro easy to use and straightforward to explain to families. Even when face to face appointments or live consultations were viable, the pre-recorded patient videos acted as a useful supplement to help direct our focus of care, highlighting any potential issues with a baby's development.     

     vCreate has given us a safe and convenient way for patients to send in videos and for these to be reviewed and commented on, with good governance and documentation. This has allowed us to move away from patients trying to email videos, sending in pen drives or just showing videos on their own phones in clinic. The system brings efficiencies for the team, and better access to seizure videos that can be key in making the right diagnosis.
