DigitalEPI - A Prospective Pilot Study

Not all patients with epilepsy requiring advanced checkups in specialized tertiary centers can be admitted for long-term video EEG monitoring. Home EEG recordings or home EEG monitoring using self-applicable EEG recording systems would therefore help overcome an unmet need in the treatment of such patients. Dry electrode EEG systems are more user-friendly than wet electrode EEG systems.In this study, the quality of EEG recordings with a novel dry electrode EEG system (Atlas with dry electrodes) will be compared with the quality of recordings with a conventional wet electrode EEG system used in clinical practice. Secondly, the quality for medical reporting of self-recorded EEG at home by patients with the dry electrode EEG system (Atlas with dry electrodes) will be compared to recordings with the same system in a clinician's office by specialized staff. Thirdly, there will be an exploratory assessment of the value for diagnostics of EEG data from multiple home-recorded dry electrode EEGs, automatic analysis of those recordings and data from a wrist device.The patients that fulfill inclusion criteria and do not meet exclusion criteria will all undergo the following:a visit to a clinic where a health care professional will record (1) their EEG activity for 15 minutes using a CE-certified EEG device with wet electrodes; and immediately after record (2) their EEG activity for 15 minutes using the investigational EEG device "Atlas with dry electrodes"self-record their EEG activity at home, using the EEG device "Atlas with dry electrodes", at least twice per day, for 14 days; during this phase, continuous non-invasive recordings of bio signals, i.e. heart rate, muscle activity, using the Empatica EmbracePlus device will be recorded and patients will report events or findings in a paper based study diary.a last visit to the clinic to return equipment, study diary and fill in questionnaires
