Supports feasibility of wearable EEG for focal epilepsy monitoring; leaves open need for algorithm refinement before routine outpatient use.
Does a wearable EEG device accurately detect seizures and provide a good user experience in patients with focal refractory epilepsy?
A wearable behind-the-ear EEG device for focal seizure detection showed low sensitivity and high false alarm rates, limiting its current clinical implementation despite being generally well received.
