By NeuroView Research / Scientific Affairs

Publication overview

NeuroView co-founder Dr. Daniel Friedman, alongside co-authors Donner and Devinsky, published "Wearable Digital Health Technology for Epilepsy" in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Wearable technology in epilepsy

The article reviews wearable digital health technologies applicable to epilepsy, spanning EEG-based systems, accelerometers, cardiac monitors, and multimodal devices. The authors evaluate the clinical evidence and discuss how these technologies integrate into standard epilepsy care pathways.

  • Continuous EEG systems for long-duration seizure detection outside hospital settings.
  • Accelerometry and cardiac monitoring for convulsive seizure detection and SUDEP risk.
  • Integration of digital biomarkers into CNS clinical trial endpoints.
  • Quality of life improvements through remote monitoring.

Clinical significance

Publication in the NEJM signals that wearable EEG and digital monitoring for epilepsy have crossed from experimental to mainstream clinical consideration.
