Currently marketed devices are focused primarily record non-EEG signals associated with tonic?clonic seizures, whereas the detection of focal seizures without major motor features remains a clear evidence gap.
SUDEP
This study states that among people with epilepsy and intellectual disability, the lack of a collaborative approach can undermine the safety of this vulnerable population.
