Evaluation of Wearable Epileptic Seizure Monitors

Wearable health devices that detect epileptic seizures have the potential to hail timely assistance for individuals, inform their treatment and assist care and self-management. New wearable seizuredetecting devices are becoming available to individuals, carers and researchers but there is scope for improvements in device performance and for more evaluations in the research literature. This position paper outlines research that includes a review of the evaluation literature and both quantitative and qualitative device evaluations.
