Future aspects of using outpatient long-term monitoring

It is well established, that often, clinicians are left with inaccurate seizure occurrence information from diaries or intermittent in-hospital EEG registrations when making epilepsy management decisions. Wearables and ultra long-term subcutaneous EEG monitors are starting to surface and show valuable objective seizure information to guide treatment based on the everyday life of people with epilepsy. Adoption of subcutaneous, ultra long-term EEG monitoring may cause a shift from subjective seizure reporting to objective seizure counting but can also aid in utilizing seizure cycles, sleep and IED in the optimization of therapy.
