Advancements in Wearable Digital Health Technology: A Review of Epilepsy Management.

Abstract

This review explores recent advancements in wearable digital health technology specifically designed to manage epilepsy. Epilepsy presents unique challenges in monitoring and management due to the unpredictable nature of seizures. Wearable devices offer continuous monitoring and real-time data collection, providing insights into seizure patterns and trends. Wearable technology is important in epilepsy management because it enables early detection, prediction, and personalized intervention, empowering patients and healthcare providers. Key findings highlight the potential of wearable devices to improve seizure detection accuracy, enhance patient empowerment through real-time monitoring, and facilitate data-driven decision-making in clinical practice. However, further research is needed to validate the accuracy and reliability of these devices across diverse patient populations and clinical settings. Collaborative efforts between researchers, clinicians, technology developers, and patients are essential to drive innovation and advancements in wearable digital health technology for epilepsy management, ultimately improving outcomes and quality of life for individuals with this neurological condition.
