Home Based Mobile Solution for Video Ambulatory EEG Monitoring

A video electroencephalogram (EEG) is the gold standard test for the monitoring of long term epilepsy, differentiating types of epilepsy and investigations of non-epileptic seizures. The use of video EEG in current practice is significantly limited by cost and non-availability of resources, causing delays for patients. This development addresses whether the limitations can be overcome by mobile technology augmented by a web based ICT solution. The experiment demonstrated that disadvantages of hospital based video EEG can be addressed by using ambulatory EEG and IP cameras at the subject´s home. The data obtained can potentially be of diagnostic significance, given sufficient technological rigor.
