Key result
Non-invasive wearables detect major motor seizures with up to ~96% sensitivity and low false alarms.
Why the study?
Real-time alarms from wearable seizure detection devices are needed to decrease seizure-related morbidity and mortality, prompting an updated review of non-invasive wearable devices in ambulatory settings.

Systematic Review
Do non-invasive wearable devices accurately detect seizures in patients with epilepsy?
Clinically validated wearable devices offer reliable automated detection of tonic-clonic seizures, supporting current ILAE-IFCN clinical practice guidelines.
Larsen et al. (2023) conducted a systematic review in Epilepsy. Non-invasive wearable seizure detection devices was evaluated on Sensitivity and false alarm rate for detection of tonic-clonic and major motor seizures. Non-invasive wearable devices detect tonic-clonic and major motor seizures with a sensitivity of 79.4-96% and a false alarm rate of 0.20-1.92 per 24 hours.
