ARM O R Advanced multi-paRametric Monitoring and analysis for diagnosis and Optimal management of epilepsy and Related brain disorders Prof. Vasileios Megalooikonomou University of Patras, Greece Clustering Workshop: eHealth and the Brain – ICT for Neuropsychiatric Health Brussels, November 5 th
Epilepsy a common, devastating and still incurable disorder treatment needs continuous adjustment and change to retain its efficacy multifactorial causes and paroxysmal nature needs multi-parametric monitoring for: accurate diagnosis, prediction, alerting and prevention, treatment follow-up and presurgical evaluation
ARMORs Main Objective Flexible monitoring optimized for each patient Tested in several case- studies Ambulatory monitoring tool Possibilities for detecting premonito- ry signs Feedback to the patient To manage and analyse a large number of already acquired and new multimodal and advanced technology data from brain and body activities of epileptic patients and controls (multichannel EEG, ECG, GSR, EMG, respiration, acceleration, and assisting modalities such as MEG) aiming to design a more holistic, personalized, medically efficient and economical monitoring system.
Scenarios Offline SCENARIO1 Epilepsy or non- epileptic paroxysmal events (NEPE) SCENARIO2 Delineation of the clinical EEG expression of different types of epilepsy SCENARIO3 Follow up – Medication evaluation SCENARIO5 Research on local signs of idiopathic generalized epilepsy SCENARIO6 Pre-surgical evaluation SCENARIO7 Nocturnal Seizures Online SCENARIO 4 Protection from seizures

Multi-parametric Data Processing & Analysis Online Data Processing & Analysis Online analysis involves results from offline analysis in order to adjust parameters according to each patients personal profile. Online Analysis incorporates all necessary processing techniques adopted to the streaming nature of the data, in order to perform real- time : Detection of Seizures Detection of (patient-specific) abnormal values (e.g., excessive techycardia, oxygen level excursions) from several modalities Detection of other possible emergency situations Minimal Data Requirements (e.g. number of sensors) is incorporated with respect to the medical expectations and the desired levels of accuracy Online Processing involves tasks such as: Preprocessing Data Fusion Decision making performed with respect to processing time, memory and communication constraints.
