Study: Wearable sensors and machine learning may well (one day) help detect a broad range of epileptic seizures

Wear­able Device Clears a First ‘Mile­stone’ in Seizure Detec­tion (Med­scape; requires sub­scrip­tion): A wrist-worn device that uses machine learn­ing accu­rate­ly detects dif­fer­ent seizure types in find­ings that have the poten­tial to rev­o­lu­tion­ize the man­age­ment of patients with epilep­sy. “We have set a first bench­mark for auto­mat­ic detec­tion of a vari­ety of epilep­tic seizures using wearable…
