Abstract

Epilepsy is one of the commonest, serious and divesting brain disorders. Although it is still an incurable disorder in most cases its symptoms can be ameliorated by life-long pharmaceutical treatment. Depending on the type of epilepsy and due to its multifactorial causes, different brain and body parameters need to be assessed continuously over a long period. This allows clinicians to have a better understanding of the patient’s state of health and to be able to continuously adjust and change the medical treatment accordingly. Beside this, multi-parametric monitoring could be used for other purposes such as accurate diagnosis, detection of seizures, alerting and prevention and presurgical evaluation. The purpose of this paper is to present the architecture of the whole cyberphysical system, comprising a modular framework that is able to connect all the required sensor types and perform online data analysis for the monitoring of patients with epilepsy.
