The EEG@Home project: Independent physiological measurements of epilepsy patients from the comfort of their own homes

The EEG@Home procedure aims to investigate the reliability and feasibility of frequent physiological measurements performed by epilepsy patients independently, from the comfort of their own homes. Data will be recorded with an ANT Neuro eegoTM 8 channel system, in combination with a wrist-worn

smartwatch (the FitBit Charge 3) and on a smartphone application developed by Seer Medical. The outcomes of this study could bolster understanding of the individual seizure cycles and seizure triggers, thereby leading to new strategies for daily assessment and targeted therapies. Overall, such an endeavor will provide further support for people with epilepsy to cope better with the unpredictability of epileptic seizures, reduce anxieties and allow more independence in their activities of daily living.
