Background: Epilepsy is a debilitating chronic medical condition affecting many patients globally. A seizure diary is used in monitoring and managing patients with epilepsy. In South Africa, no standardized diary is currently being used. Objective: This study intended to develop a consensus among experts managing patients with epilepsy on the content of a seizure diary. Methods: The modified Delphi method consisted of three survey rounds spanning six months. Using a three-point Likert scale questionnaire, in round one, the panelists were required to choose an option (definitely required, optional, and not required) for 50 items and comment on the contents of the diary. In round two, three items were added based on comments from the panelists. In round three, panelists were allowed to deliberate further on unresolved items and change their responses in view of the group responses. The consensus was determined as a priori threshold of >70% on items definitely required, optional, or not required. Results: Eleven local and two international panelists were enrolled in this study. Twelve completed all three rounds. The consensus was achieved in 21 of 50 items in round 1, three of seven items in round 2, and one of two items in round 3, of which 18 were definitely required as contents of a seizure diary. Conclusions: Based on expert opinions, the modified Delphi study determined the essential contents of a seizure diary for use by patients with epilepsy in South Africa.

“…As interviewees tend to take part in surveys which they regard as important and represent their own issues or interests, the survey is likely to contain a bias, but on the other hand participants tend to choose midpoint while filling forms [ 30 , 31 , 32 ].…”

hGLUTEN is a technological solution capable of detecting gluten and spoiled food. We measured the social impact of the hGLUTEN tool using two Likert scale surveys with two groups: professionals (engineers/chefs) and end-users. These data have been assessed in accordance with the social impact indicators defined for the Key Impact Pathways introduced by the European Commission for Horizon Europe and the criteria of the Social Impact Open Repository (SIOR). A total of 85% of users, 100% of engineers and 68% of professional chefs consider it very relevant to participate and give their opinion in research projects, which shows the increasingly high level of involvement of the general population. A total of 88% of users were unaware of other applications that detect gluten and were more dependent on guidelines provided by allergy associations and expiry dates of foodstuffs. In addition, only 5% of professional chefs said they were aware of other technology capable of detecting gluten in food, which may indicate a large economic market and good commercialisation possibilities for the tool in the future. Finally, the inclusion of tools to motivate users to promote it has been identified as an area for improvement, which could mean that it should be made more visible in the media to increase its impact and influence.

“…The expert reviewers are developers and designers that have experiences from 5 months to 19 years with structuring the story and the flowchart by developing the system. According to Okoli and Pawlowski (2004), it is advised to take in between 10 and 18 experts (Toepoel & Emerson, 2017). They help define the deficiency and the functionality of the ISGS in the overall view.…”

The flow of the storyline should be structured well and organized to make it understandable and complete. The most attractive and interesting storytelling nowadays is digital storytelling, as all the information and entertainment move into digital devices. To make digital storytelling more interactive and attractive, some interactive features, such as interactivity, iteration, and multi-option incorporated in the story structure. Nevertheless, the interactive features should be explained well in the story structure to ease the process of interpreting the interactive storyline. However, the existing story structure could not support those features. Therefore, the creation of a new story structure will help the process of interpreting an interactive storyline with those interactive features. This paper will demonstrate the new story structure that blends well with the interactive features by modifying the existing story structure approach. The flow of the storyline in a new story structure can be created by applying a few new symbols that match the storyline by following the guidelines on making a new story structure. The new story structure has been evaluated by 10 expert reviews with the aim to look at the acceptance and usability of the new story structure as part of the process to interpret the interactive storyline for digital storytelling. The results of the evaluation were tested using SPSS software with a value of 88.89% by analyzing the data from descriptive analysis and bar charts.
