Advancements in ultra-long-term subcutaneous EEG systems for epilepsy monitoring

Pedro Viana, MD, PhD(c), King's College London, London, UK, comments on developments in subcutaneous electroencephalogram (EEG) systems, which enable long-term, at-home monitoring for epilepsy and other neurological conditions. Subcutaneous EEG implants is less invasive and can be paired with an external logger to capture data over months. Unlike scalp EEGs, subcutaneous EEGs face fewer issues like electrode detachment, though they cover fewer areas, potentially missing seizures in some regions. This interview took place at the 15th European Epilepsy Congress (EEC) 2024 in Rome, Italy.
