Patient and caregiver view on seizure detection devices: a survey study

The concern for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) and the need for better seizure control in persons with epilepsy (PWE) have led to the implementation of seizure detection devices (SDD). Timely identification of seizures may lead to decreased SUDEP risk [1] and a reduction in the potential for seizure related injury and status epilepticus. Accurate detection of seizures and creation of alarms should improve monitoring of treatment efficacy, as patient reporting is not completely reliable [2–4].
