Abstract
A video electroencephalogram (EEG) is the gold standard test for the monitoring of long term epilepsy, differentiating types of epilepsy and investigations of non-epileptic seizures. The use of video EEG in current practice is significantly limited by cost and non-availability of resources, causing delays for patients. This development addresses whether the limitations can be overcome by mobile technology augmented by a web based ICT solution. The experiment demonstrated that disadvantages of hospital based video EEG can be addressed by using ambulatory EEG and IP cameras at the subject's home. The data obtained can potentially be of diagnostic significance, given sufficient technological rigor.
