Designing a Wearable EEG Device and Its Benefits for Epilepsy Patients: A Review

Abstract

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that causes repeated seizures in millions of people worldwide. Traditional Electroencephalography (EEG) systems can be cumbersome and limited to clinical settings, but they have helped diagnose and monitor epilepsy. Wearable EEG devices have transformed epilepsy management by providing real-time, non-invasive, and continuous monitoring capabilities. This review paper investigates the design considerations and technological advancements in wearable EEG devices, emphasizing their numerous benefits in treating epileptic patients and the limitation of designing wearable devices. In conclusion, the integration of multimodal data can offer a comprehensive overview of a patient's health, enabling the implementation of personalized and efficient treatment approaches.
