Statistical characteristics of large-scale objective tonic-clonic seizure records from medical smartwatches used in daily life.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to assess whether population-level patterns in seizure occurrence previously observed in self-reported diaries, medical records, and electroencephalographic recordings were also present in tonic-clonic seizure (TCS) diaries produced via the combined input of a US Food and Drug Administration-cleared wristband with an artificial intelligence detection algorithm and patient self-reports. We also investigated the characteristics of patient interactions with wearable seizure alerts.

Methods

We analyzed wristband data from patients with TCSs who had at least three reported TCSs over a minimum of 90 days. We quantified TCS frequency and cycles, and the relationship between the mean and variability of monthly TCS counts. We also assessed interaction metri
