About

The aim of our project is to develop an epileptic seizure detection algorithm based on the the continuous analysis of the Electrocardiogram

Full description

In a first step, the team will build a multi-parametric algorithm on existing records issued from the Epilepsy Monitoring Units. Each selected record will be analyzed by EMU medical team in order to detect seizure on the EEG. The algorithm will adapt in order to obtain the best sensitivity and specificity regarding seizure detection.

in a second step,algorithm will validate on a cohort of other recordings in patients with epilepsy

Enrollment: 40 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

• pace-maker
• non sinus rhythm

Trial design

40 participants in 2 patient groups
