Ambulatory EEG: Crossing the divide during a pandemic

Epilepsy & Behavior Reports

The COVID-19 pandemic is a worldwide health crisis. As the pandemic forced the temporary closure of epilepsy monitoring units across the country, hospitals and providers have turned towards utilizing ambulatory video EEG in home settings to serve as a diagnostic bridge during a pandemic or when inpatient VEM is unavailable, inaccessible, or impractical. Ambulatory EEG can provide home EEG monitoring for patients and serve as an alternative to diagnostic inpatient VEM during the paradigm shift to mobile heath forced by this new coronavirus.
