New personal monitoring devices for epilepsy may offer alternatives to inpatient video EEG

Uncontrolled epilepsy often requires a series of trials and errors to identify effective drug combinations.

Three new personal monitoring devices offer biometric recording technology that could allow patients to monitor clinical and subclinical seizure activity in the everyday home environment and get advance warning before a seizure strikes.
