We systematically reviewed the existing literature on the safety of the use of smartphone, mobile phone/Internet, and Wi‐Fi by people with epilepsy (PWE), according to the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Scopus, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar from the inception to April 9, 2021 were searched. These key words were used “epilepsy” OR “seizure” AND “Mobile Phone” OR “Cell Phone” OR “Smartphone” OR “Wi‐Fi” OR “Electromagnetic” OR “Radiation.” The primary search yielded 7766 studies; 33 studies were related. In total, 19 manuscripts were based on animal/computational studies and 14 articles reported human investigations. Among animal studies, 10 articles suggested detrimental effects by electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on brain function/seizure activity, while nine studies negated this hypothesis. Among human studies, seven studies suggested detrimental effects by EMFs on brain function/seizure activity, while seven studies negated this hypothesis. None of the studies provided a good level of evidence. In one human study, all seven patients with epilepsy and abnormal EEG during the sham exposure, had an increase in the number of epileptic events with exposure to mobile phone radiation. In another study of the detrimental effects of smart technology device overuse among school students, an association was found between reporting seizures and the hours of smart technology device use. While high‐quality evidence on the safety of the use of smartphone, mobile phone/Internet, and Wi‐Fi in PWE is lacking, prudent use of these technologies, including using wired hand‐free sets or other exposure‐reducing measures is recommended.

“…An extensive review of the scientiﬁc literature shows that non-ionizing electromagnetic fractions can interact dramatically with biological systems [ 65 ]. Despite excessive sunlight sunlight inducing inducing various health disorders, less solar exposure certainly promotes susceptibility to chronic diseases such as depression, infectious diseases, and vitamin D deficiency.…”

Nonionizing Electromagnetic Irradiations; Biological Interactions, Human Safety

Human is usually exposed to environmental radiation from natural and man-made sources. Therefore, it is important to investigate the effects of exposure to environmental radiation, partly related to understanding and protecting against the risk of exposure to environmental radiation with beneficial and adverse impacts on human life. The rapid development of technologies causes a dramatic enhancement of radiation in the human environment. In this study, we address the biological effects caused by different fractions of non-ionizing electromagnetic irradiation to humans and describe possible approaches for minimizing adverse health effects initiated by radiation. The main focus was on biological mechanisms initiated by irradiation and represented protection, and safety approaches to prevent health disorders.
