Advanced EEG Technology in Childhood Epilepsy

The objective of the study will be the following:

• Multimodal seizure detection Evaluation of data quality and seizure annotation accuracy. Comparison of data derived from the multimodal wearable device (Sensor dot in combination with Plug and Patch system) versus video EEG and seizure diary in childhood epilepsy syndromes with

• Tonic seizures
• Atonic seizures
• Myoclonic seizures During wakefulness and during sleep
• Sleep monitoring Assessment of sleep data quality, latency, sleep fragmentation and time spent in different sleep stages in different childhood epilepsy syndromes. Investigation of the influence of occuring seizures on sleep architecture.

Comparison of data wearable device (Byteflies Sensor Dot in combination with Plug and Patch system) versus video-EEG and sleep diary in childhood epilepsy syndromes.

Inclusion criteria

• Childhood epilepsy with tonic, atonic or myoclonic seizures
• Parental informed consent and assent of the child if applicable
• Parent or caregiver can keep a seizure and sleep diary reliably.

Exclusion criteria

• Inability to provide written informed consent by parent or caregiver.
• Known allergy to electrodes or medical adhesives used as part of the study protocol.
• Having an implanted device, such as (but not limited to) a pacemaker, ICD, VNS because Sensor Dot contains magnets that could interfere with the operation of these devices.
• Any other condition or finding that would compromise the safety of the participant or the quality of the study data, or otherwise interfere with achieving the study objectives, as determined by the investigator or research coordinator.
