This study is looking at whether a tool called the "Epilepsy Visit Planner" can help improve how patients with drug-resistant epilepsy communicate with their doctors and improve their quality of life. The Epilepsy Visit Planner is a tablet-based tool that you would use in the waiting room before your clinic appointment. Researchers want to see if using this planner leads to better conversations with your healthcare provider and better overall well-being compared to not using it. They will measure this by asking you to complete questionnaires after your clinic visit and again three months later. The study is currently unclear on its status and plans to enroll 152 adult participants who have drug-resistant epilepsy and receive care at the University of Michigan Epilepsy clinics.
