The 4th European Academy of Neurology conference was the perfect launch base to introduce Epilog’s new clinical service: Epilog Diagnostic. The Epilog Diagnostic technology is based on the technology of their previous product Epilog PreOp. The know-how and experience that we continuously obtain with PreOp is now translated in this new innovative product with one simple goal: saving time interpreting overnight or 24h EEG recordings to accurately diagnose epilepsy.
Interpreting an overnight or 24h-EEG is a time-consuming effort, taking up approximately 1-2h of the neurologist’s time per patient. This can be a significant barrier to its use in clinical practice. Epilog Diagnostic solves this problem by offering automated analysis of overnight EEG, providing the results in a concise report that contains all relevant information. This report is delivered within 24 hours after a simple data upload of the EEG. This reduces the time spent on EEG interpretation and frees up more time to see and treat patients.
The complete Epilog Diagnostic processing pipeline was validated on typical clinical overnight EEG recordings (27-32 electrodes). In 43 patients the sensitivity to diagnose epilepsy was 83%, while the specificity was 94%. The positive predictive value was 83% and negative predictive value 94%, which corresponds to a diagnostic odds ratio of 72. The interpretation of the report took the expert electrophysiologist approximately 5 min per report.
