Key result
Wearable devices provided high-quality data and were acceptable for routine use, with patients showing a significant preference for wrist-worn devices, particularly the Empatica E4.
Why the study?
Wearable devices have potential to aid epilepsy management, but they require robust signal quality, automated measures to reject corrupt data segments, and patient willingness to wear them long-term.
Do commercially available wearable sensors provide high-quality data and acceptable patient experience in patients with epilepsy and healthy volunteers?
Population
Patients with epilepsy undergoing in-hospital or in-home EEG monitoring, and healthy volunteers
Comparison
Multiple commercially available wearable sensors
Follow-up
Multiple days

Do commercially available wearable sensors provide high-quality data and acceptable patient experience in patients with epilepsy and healthy volunteers?
Current wearable devices can provide high-quality data and are acceptable for routine use in epilepsy management, with patients showing a strong preference for wrist-worn devices.
Nasseri et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Epilepsy. Wearable devices was evaluated on Signal quality and patient usability/comfort. Wearable devices provided high-quality data and were acceptable for routine use, with patients showing a significant preference for wrist-worn devices, particularly the Empatica E4.
