Epilepsy is a significant health problem that imposes a substantial burden on individuals, their caregivers and health systems.[1] Seizures are unpredictable and may cause serious complications, including sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP[1]).[1] Having (generalised or focal to bilateral) tonic-clonic seizures, particularly if nocturnal and unattended, constitutes the most significant SUDEP risk factor.[2,3,4] This poses an opportunity for seizure detection devices (SDDs), which might lower morbidity and mortality risk in epilepsy and potentially reduce the burden.
