Show Notes

Did you know seizure diaries in LGS & Dravet often capture less than half of seizures?! Today we hear from Dr. Ewan Nurse, an engineer & epilepsy researcher in Melbourne, who shares research into seizure reporting in developmental & epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs).

We explore why seizure diaries miss so many seizures, how carers sometimes log non-seizure events, and what that means for families and clinicians. Ewan also talks about the promise & limits of wearable devices, EEG headbands & implants, and why collaboration between engineers, clinicians, carers & families is essential for the future of epilepsy care.
