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

By SharpBrains | January 22, 2021

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…

Next in clinical practice: Automated real-time detection of seizures via wearable EMG devices

By SharpBrains | February 28, 2018

___ 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…
