Automatic multimodal detection for long-term seizure documentation in epilepsy

Seizure documentation and quantification represents the primary outcome measure of epilepsy therapy including antiepileptic drug treatment, epilepsy surgery, and neurostimulation. Presently, patients document their seizures using seizure diaries without systematic and objective validation approach by physicians. Recent publications showed that manual seizure counting suffers from underreporting with sensitivities of 50% during day and as low as 30% during night and can therefore be considered as highly unreliable (Blachut et al., 2015).
