Seizure detection using wearable sensors and machine learning: Setting a benchmark

Abstract

Tracking seizures is crucial for epilepsy monitoring and treatment evaluation. Current epilepsy care relies on caretaker seizure diaries, but clinical seizure monitoring may miss seizures. Wearable devices may be better tolerated and more suitable for long‐term ambulatory monitoring. This study evaluates the seizure detection performance of custom‐developed machine learning (ML) algorithms across a broad spectrum of epileptic seizures utilizing wrist‐ and ankle‐worn multisignal biosensors.
