Problem
Epilepsy affects millions worldwide, and a significant percentage experience drug-resistant forms, requiring continuous and long-term monitoring of brain activity to manage the condition effectively. Traditional EEG monitoring methods often capture infrequent events, limiting the ability to provide comprehensive data for treatment planning and medication adjustments.
Solution
Epiminder offers the Minder system, an FDA-authorised implantable continuous EEG monitoring (iCEM) system designed for individuals with drug-resistant epilepsy. The system provides continuous, long-term EEG monitoring, extending the monitoring window from days to months or years, capturing infrequent events that traditional EEGs may miss. This continuous monitoring provides objective data on EEG activity, supporting drug-therapy monitoring and pre-surgical planning. The system facilitates remote monitoring, aiding in patient care and regular clinical assessment, while allowing patients to maintain their daily activities.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes healthcare professionals and patients managing drug-resistant epilepsy who require continuous and comprehensive brain activity monitoring for effective treatment planning.
