Abstract
BACKGROUND: Abnormal brain activity is the source of epileptic seizures, which can present a variety of symptoms and influence patients' quality of life. Therefore, it is critical to track epileptic seizures, diagnose them, and provide potential therapies to manage people with epilepsy. Electroencephalography (EEG) is helpful in the diagnosis and classification of the seizure type, epilepsy, or epilepsy syndrome. Ictal EEG is rarely recorded, whereas interictal EEG is more often recorded, and the results can be abnormal or normal even in the case of epilepsy. The current digital care pathway for epilepsy (DCPE) lacks the integration of data-driven seizure detection, which could potentially enhance epilepsy treatment and management.
