To develop the digital health solutions, Partners Connected Health will build on UCB’s experience in epilepsy treatment and extensive ethnographic research into the condition.

“Addressing patients’ unmet needs is an important opportunity to create insightful, patient-focused and evidence-based digital health solutions to help people with epilepsy live healthier lives,” said Kamal Jethwani, MD, senior director of innovation at Partners Connected Health.
