Epihunter provides a lightweight wearable EEG headset that continuously monitors frontal brain activity and automatically detects absence seizures in real time. Detected events trigger an audible alert, record synchronized video, and upload timestamps, video clips, and notes to a HIPAA‑compliant cloud platform accessible via a mobile app and FHIR‑compatible clinician dashboard. The service is offered through a subscription that includes the headset, accessories, and cloud analytics.

Problem
Absence seizures are brief, non‑convulsive events that often go unnoticed by patients, teachers, and caregivers, making it difficult to track frequency, assess impact, and adjust treatment. The lack of objective, real‑time data forces families and clinicians to rely on memory or sporadic clinical observations, which can lead to suboptimal medication management and increased anxiety.
Solution
Epihunter offers a wearable EEG headset (BrainLink Lite v2) that continuously monitors frontal brain activity and automatically detects absence seizures in real time. When a seizure is identified, the system triggers an audible signal and initiates automated video recording, creating a verifiable record of each event. All seizure timestamps, durations, video clips, and user‑entered notes are synced to a companion mobile app available on Android and iOS, where families can review histories and generate reports. Clinicians can access encrypted cloud‑hosted data through a secure dashboard or export it via FHIR‑compatible APIs for integration with electronic health records. The subscription model includes the headset, a smartphone stand, and unlimited support, enabling continuous monitoring without additional hardware purchases.
Target Audience
Primary users are children, adolescents, and adults with absence epilepsy and their families, as well as pediatric neurologists, epileptologists, and other clinicians who require accurate seizure documentation for treatment decisions.
