Multimodal nocturnal seizure detection in children with epilepsy: A prospective, multicenter, long‐term, in‐home trial

There is a pressing need for reliable automated seizure detection in epilepsy care. Performance evidence on ambulatory non‐electroencephalography‐based seizure detection devices is low, and evidence on their effect on caregiver's stress, sleep, and quality of life (QoL) is still lacking. We aimed to determine the performance of NightWatch, a wearable nocturnal seizure detection device, in children with epilepsy in the family home setting and to assess its impact on caregiver burden.
