Dementia Seizure Evaluation Framework
They look like a blank stare. A sudden behavioral episode. A period of confusion that seems to come from nowhere. This framework walks you through the research-supported indicators and returns a plain-language summary of whether and how seizures may be involved. Anonymous. Free. About five minutes. Available in your browser now, and on WhatsApp.
Built on peer-reviewed evidence from my doctoral research: Seizure Risk Assessment in Dementia: A Literature Review of Current Evidence and Recommendations for Future Clinical Research.
The evaluation is identical regardless of how you access it — 24 research-supported indicators across the four domains of the Dementia Seizure Spectrum, returning a plain-language evidence summary you can bring to a physician, include in clinical notes, or share with care staff.
Open in any browser. No account, no install, no cost.
Works on any phone, in any country, anywhere WhatsApp reaches.
The evaluation is built on the same clinical taxonomy as the rest of the knowledge base — the presentations standard care most often misses.
The recognized presentations — including those that don't look like textbook seizures.
Read the domain →Automatisms and repetitive motor behaviors mistaken for restlessness or agitation.
Read the domain →Staring, blank spells, and episodes of unresponsiveness often attributed to dementia progression.
Read the domain →Sudden behavioral surges and post-episode confusion misattributed to psychiatric cause.
Read the domain →Anonymous — the evaluation collects no names, no contact information, and no identifying details of any kind. You are never asked who you are or who the evaluation is about. The only information recorded is the pattern of indicators you flag — no free-text notes, no personal context. That anonymized pattern is used for two purposes: to generate your evidence summary, and to contribute to ongoing research into how seizure presentations in dementia are recognized in real-world settings. Nothing you submit can be traced back to you or to any individual.
Not a diagnosis. Not a validated clinical instrument. Not a medical record. Not a substitute for clinical judgment, neurological evaluation, or a conversation with a qualified professional. Use it to recognize and inform — not to conclude.
