Why the study?
To describe extracerebral biosignal characteristics of seizures versus baseline physical activities using multimodal devices, develop predictive models, and assess their diagnostic performance.
Does a wrist-worn smartwatch (Empatica E4) accurately detect seizures compared to baseline physical activities in patients with focal epilepsy?
Comparison
Biosignals during 5-min epochs of seizure events vs baseline physical activities
Design
Prospective diagnostic accuracy study with blinded event determination

Moderate accuracy supports wearable seizure monitoring development; leaves open prospective validation before clinical use.
Does a wrist-worn smartwatch (Empatica E4) accurately detect seizures compared to baseline physical activities in patients with focal epilepsy?
A wrist-worn smartwatch detecting multimodal biosignals (heart rate, acceleration, electrodermal activity) can help differentiate epileptic seizures from normal physical activities with moderate diagnostic accuracy.
