Objective
This study was undertaken to review the reported performance of noninvasive wearable devices in detecting epileptic seizures and psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES).
Methods
We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of studies reported up to November 15, 2021. We included studies that used video‐electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring as the gold standard to determine the...
Objective
To investigate the characteristics of motor manifestation during convulsive epileptic and psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES), captured using a wrist‐worn accelerometer (ACM) device. The main goal was to find quantitative ACM features that can differentiate between convulsive epileptic and convulsive PNES.
Methods
In this study, motor data were recorded using wrist‐worn ACM‐based...
Epileptic seizures are characterized by the excessive and abrupt electrical discharge in the brain. This asynchronous firing of neurons causes unprovoked convulsions which can be a cause of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Remote monitoring of epileptic patients can help prevent SUDEP. Systems based on wearable accelerometer sensors have shown to be effective in ambulatory monitoring of...
Any abnormal hypersynchronus activity of neurons can be characterized as an epileptic seizure (ES). A broad class of non-epileptic seizures is comprised of Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). PNES are paroxysmal events, which mimics epileptic seizures and pose a diagnostic challenge with epileptic seizures due to their clinical similarities. The diagnosis of PNES is done using video-electroencephalography...
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders and patients suffer from unprovoked seizures. In contrast, psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are another class of seizures that are involuntary events not caused by abnormal electrical discharges but are a manifestation of psychological distress. The similarity of these two types of seizures poses diagnostic challenges that often leads...
Convulsive psychogenic non-epileptic seizure (PNES) can be characterized as events which mimics epileptic seizures but do not show any characteristic changes on electroencephalogram (EEG). Correct diagnosis requires video-electroencephalography monitoring (VEM) as the diagnosis of PNES is extremely difficult in primary health care. Recent work has demonstrated the usefulness of accelerometry signal...
A seizure is caused due to sudden surge of electrical activity within the brain. There is another class of seizures called psychogenic non-epileptic seizure (PNES) that mimics epilepsy, but is caused due to underlying psychology. The diagnosis of PNES is done using video-electroencephalography monitoring (VEM), which is a resource intensive process. Recently, accelerometers have been shown to be effective...
Vascular stiffness is an indicator of cardiovascular health, with carotid artery stiffness having established correlation to coronary heart disease and utility in cardiovascular diagnosis and screening. State of art equipment for stiffness evaluation are expensive, require expertise to operate and not amenable for field deployment. In this context, we developed ARTerial Stiffness Evaluation for Noninvasive...
