The Clinical Utility of BioEP in Diagnostic Decision Making in Epilepsy

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

BioEP: When a consenting participant has their first electroencephalogram (EEG), they will be assigned with a unique participant study identifier before being uploaded. The centre will convert the EEG to European Data Format (EDF) format (or upload the total file) and upload this to the Neuronostics platform. The EEG will be stored on the Neuronostics database management system, within which the computational and mathematical analysis will be carried out. This study involves data analysis and mathematical modelling of the EEG recordings of each patient individually to generate a computational analysis score (BioEP).

Study summary

Neuronostics plan a prospective multisite trial to determine the clinical utility of BioEP in the context of diagnostic decision making. Neuronostics will use findings from the trial to improve user experience of the Neuronostics platform (the tool which clinicians use to obtain a BioEP score from EEG and the aligned report). The data coming from the trial will also enable Neuronostics to iterate the BioEP algorithms and so improve future performance.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• The primary outcome is epilepsy diagnosis (yes/no) at baseline. — Baseline
  The epilepsy diagnosis timepoint is defined as the diagnostic decision of the clinician after the continuous process of information gathering, integration, and interpretation and deciding that sufficient information has been gathered to make a definitive judgment. Initial suspicions of a provoked or isolated seizure leading to a watch-and-wait strategy are not regarded as a epilepsy diagnosis.
