Application of seizure detection algorithms and Cloud-based storage with real-time access provides connectivity to AEEG interpreters during prolonged “shut-down”.
AMBULATORY EEG PORTABLE
Technological advances in AEEG using miniaturized hardware and wireless secure transmission have evolved to small portable devices that are perfect for people forced to stay at home during the pandemic. Prolonged audio-visual video-EEG capability can record events and epileptiform activity with quality like inpatient video-EEG monitoring. AEEG has high yield compared to standard EEG. As COVID-19 exposures and deaths continues to surge in the United States and around the world, other types of long-term EEG monitoring have risen to fill the gap and minimize hospital exposure.
