A Digital Intervention for Capturing Real-Time Health Data for Epilepsy Seizure Forecasting: Protocol for the ATMOSPHERE Study.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEpilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder marked by recurrent and apparently unpredictable seizures and associated with premature death, injury, and diminished quality of life. The unpredictability of seizures is a major concern for people with epilepsy. Thus, developing tools for seizure prediction is a research priority. The Artificial Intelligence to Optimise Seizure Prediction to Empower People With Epilepsy (ATMOSPHERE) project focuses on the development and evaluation of seizure forecasting technology involving mobile technology and machine learning to provide personalized seizure forecasting (risk of seizure in the near future). The project is informed by complex intervention frameworks, which recommend phases of development, feasibility study, clinical evaluation, and implementation.
objectiveObjective 1 aims to conduct a feasibility study to test and refine the trial methods for a future clinical trial. Objective 2 aims to test and refine the data collection technology, considering usability and technical performance. Objective 3 aims to collect longitudinal data on seizures and their precipitants to refine seizure forecasting.
methodsThis study is a single-arm, mixed methods feasibility study, testing a prototype of the data collection technology, with phase 2 testing a minimum viable product. In total, 60 participants will be recruited via specialist National Health Service epilepsy clinics. Inclusion criteria are adults with epilepsy, experiencing seizures twice per month, able to consent, and engage with technology. Clinicians will screen and gain consent to contact, with researchers obtaining full consent. Participants will be invited to complete the following study procedures: (1) onboarding, (2) use the data collection technology (phase 1 or 2) in their lived context for up to 6 months, (3) complete patient-reported outcome measures and capture clinical-reported outcome measures at baseline and 3 months, and (4) complete a qualitative interview exploring their views of the data collection technology. A study flow diagram will report recruitment rates (outcome 1), diversity of the recruited sample (outcome 2), barriers and facilitators to recruitment (outcome 3), retention rates (outcome 4), and barriers and facilitators to retention (outcome 5). To assess the data collection technology, quantitative technology use data and qualitative interview data will be analyzed to assess usability (outcome 6) and technical performance (outcome 7) of the data collection technology. These outcomes will inform iterative minimum viable product development and testing cycles with stakeholders.
resultsRecruitment is planned to begin in quarter 1 of 2026, with data collection expected to be completed by quarter 2 of 2027. Data analysis will take place during quarter 3, and the results will be published in quarter 4.
conclusionsThis project aims to improve clinical outcomes for people with epilepsy through seizure forecasting technology. To evaluate clinical outcomes, robust trial methodology is critical. This feasibility study will optimize methods for a future full-scale clinical trial as well as refine the seizure forecasting intervention.
