In-Home Ambulatory and Routine EEG Services
In-Home Ambulatory EEG can be an integral part of diagnosing, classifying, and managing seizure disorders and identifying non-seizure related causes of patient-reported events (PNES, cardiac, sleep disorder, behavioral, etc.).
Advantages of multi-day, in-home ambulatory video-EEG recordings:
- Lower cost of service than a stay in a hospital Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU)
- Quicker access to service, no long wait for the availability of a bed in EMU
- In-home services eliminate the need for patient/family to travel to the hospital for testing
- Potentially higher likelihood of capturing epileptic events in the home environment (avoid the “hospitalization anticonvulsant” effect)
- In-Home EEG procedures are generally better tolerated than in-hospital video-EEG monitoring
- Remote real-time monitoring of patient studies ensures quality recordings with excellent clinical yield
