Abstract
Emerging mobile health (mHealth) and eHealth technologies offer new opportunities for remote monitoring and interventions for individuals with mental health and neurological disorders. Traditional hospital methods are not suitable for long-term epilepsy seizure monitoring in naturalistic ambulatory environments. A study was conducted using a wearable device, smartphone, and remote data collection platform to explore the feasibility of ambulatory seizure detection. 27 patients were recruited and monitored over six months in the UK and Germany. Active and passive data were collected, indicating the potential for seizure detection in at-home and ambulatory settings. Collected data completion rate and quality shows feasibility of remote data collection. Initial results suggest that smartphones and wearable devices could significantly improve care for patients with epilepsy by detecting and potentially preempting epileptic seizures.
