“Many Neurologists and even internal medical physicians, or pediatricians do not run that many EEGs. They have a need for EEG but may not have tremendous volume. Here is the perfect solution for a neurologist and private practice to allow them to run EEGs and interpret them without the worry of having an expensive technician that they must hire. This has reduced the cost of the equipment and the lead placement and made it much more available to physicians and practices.”

“I believe it is an extremely attractive device in situations where there is effectively no standard of care currently. In community hospitals, they typically do not have EEG resources and yet the question of whether a patient is having a subclinical seizure or not, comes up quite frequently. In the past 10 years, there has been increased recognition of subclinical seizures happening in intensive care units. Yet, in these community hospitals, they just do not have the resources to provide that type of testing. This is a tremendous benefit. I mean it allows nurses at bedside to be trained quickly to apply a basic headset and then collect the signal quickly.” 

Dr. John Hixson – Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of California

“Most of the hospitals that employee telemedicine are smaller hospitals. They don’t have the resources for an EEG technician on-site or an EEG machine in the ER. This is a perfect solution where the telemedicine physician can ask the ER staff to set up an EEG, start it, and then read it in real-time. They can make a diagnosis of status epilepticus or clinical seizures instantly, without any wait or delay, which reduces morbidity. So, you are reducing the risk of over treatment or missed diagnosis. This device reduces risks for the hospital and the patient and allows the remote physician to make a correct diagnosis and not feel that their hands are tied. “
