Next in clinical practice: Automated real-time detection of seizures via wearable EMG devices
___ Wearable EMG Found to Detect Seizures (Neurology Today): “A new study demonstrates the feasibility of using a wearable electromyography device to detect tonic-clonic seizures…The Neurology paper was among the first to demonstrate its results prospectively, using a pre-specified cut-off for determining that a GTCS is occurring. And at nine seconds, its latency in doing so…
