Development of an Epileptic Seizure Detection Algorithm by Continuous Analysis of the Electrocardiogram

Development of an Epileptic Seizure Detection Algorithm by Continuous Analysis of the Electrocardiogram

The aim of our project is to develop an epileptic seizure detection algorithm based on the the continuous analysis of the Electrocardiogram

In a first step, the team will build a multi-parametric algorithm on existing records issued from the Epilepsy Monitoring Units. Each selected record will be analyzed by EMU medical team in order to detect seizure on the EEG. The algorithm will adapt in order to obtain the best sensitivity and specificity regarding seizure detection.

in a second step,algorithm will validate on a cohort of other recordings in patients with epilepsy

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients with epilepsy
• with a long-term video-EEG recording
• 1 (or more) seizure (s) recorded
• onset seizure clearly defined on the basis of the EEG

Exclusion Criteria:

• bad quality of the Electrocardiogram recording
• pace-maker
• non sinus rhythm
