Evidence standard: Research-grade observational description (not medical advice)
Methods (summary)
SeizeControl Observational Panel
Class B observational research using consented/default-share SeizeControl research profiles.
Purpose
Describe the aggregate profile of people using SeizeControl who share research data,
to inform FND Connect community reports without individual-level disclosure.
Population
SeizeControl users with research sharing enabled (opt-out model per product terms).
Unit of analysis
One row per participant (pseudonymised).
Limitations
Self-selected digital cohort; not representative of all people with FND.
Default opt-in means some users may not have actively engaged with research settings.
Analysis plan
Analysis plan v1 (pre-specified descriptive)
1. Count of participants in snapshot.
2. Distribution of primary condition (banded).
3. Top co-occurring condition categories (suppressed if n < min_cell_size).
4. Contactable-for-research share (aggregate only).
No inferential tests in v1. All findings labelled observational / exploratory as appropriate.

- Rows: 101 (unit: participant)
- Checksum: `3b165602b6f2a7b564e057c2086cb8a1663709ff9b39106b5ffbc7a54292f541`

- Analysis checksum: `3340e6fa247d2e3664857dc1fe28cfc23a14c2927e721ae0dbeaa965bef2ae35`
- Min cell size: 5
Findings
1. 7.9% are open to being contacted about research
- Evidence label: Observational finding
- Disclosure: ok
- Estimate: 7.9%
- Fraction: 8 / 101
8 of 101 participants have research-contact preference enabled.
Contact preference is optional and may change. Not a recruitment list.
2. FND is the most common primary condition label (49.5%)
- Evidence label: Exploratory finding
- Disclosure: ok
- Estimate: 49.5%
- Fraction: 50 / 101
Among participants with a snapshot row, 49.5% are labelled FND (n=50 of 101).
Labels are self-reported in SeizeControl. Categories may be incomplete. Not diagnostic.
3. Snapshot includes 101 research-sharing participants
- Evidence label: Observational finding
- Disclosure: ok
- Estimate: 101 participants
- Fraction: 101 / 101
The frozen dataset contains 101 pseudonymised participants from SeizeControl research sharing.
Self-selected digital cohort. Not representative of all people with FND. Observational only — not medical advice.
4. 29.7% had at least one logged episode in 90 days
- Evidence label: Observational finding
- Disclosure: ok
- Estimate: 29.7%
- Fraction: 30 / 101
30 of 101 participants logged at least one episode in the prior 90 days (SeizeControl).
Logging behaviour is not disease prevalence. Users log at different rates.
5. 0% completed the community check-in
- Evidence label: Observational finding
- Disclosure: ok
- Estimate: 0%
- Fraction: 0 / 101
0 of 101 snapshot participants have a submitted community check-in.
Optional survey; non-response is informative but not missing-at-random.
Limitations
- Self-selected SeizeControl users; not population-representative.
- Research sharing may be default-on; not all users actively confirmed.
- Co-occurring conditions are free-form and mapped heuristically to categories.
- Small cells are suppressed, not shown as zero.
