epihunter Pro -Medical Device Software
Epihunter Pro makes the automatically built seizure diary available through a webportal for the physician. The epihunter home-care solution is based on a wearable EEG headband and a smartphone with a detection algorithm. When a seizure is detected, the people around are notified immediately. Next to this, an entry is automatically logged in the seizure diary. Also, a video can be automatically recorded with the smartphone, including the 30 seconds prior to the detection. Thus, epihunter ensures a high adherence and accurate, reliable seizure diary. Thanks to the epihunter Pro service, you as a physician will access your patients` epihunter data through a secure and intuitive web portal.

"We found the neurologist reports from epihunter to be very helpful during conversations with our consultant. The graphical overviews made it easier for us to compare the data month to month and track changes in seizure frequency. This was of particular interest as our son`s medication dose had been increased and - through epihunter - we observed a decrease in absence seizures.”
Jon & Laura, parents of Rafe (5), UK
Our secure and easy-to-use epihunter Pro web portal provides access to reports from your patients. These are in downloadable PDF format en includes three sections:
- Info & calendar view: highly visible monthly overview of epihunter use to potentially identify seizure patterns
- Diary: monthly records of seizure detections, including seizure duration, user reported annotations and hyperlinks to automatically recorded seizure videos
- EEG-traces: upon request, also raw EEG data can be provided
The wearable EEG headset uses dry gold-plated copper electrodes that are in direct contact with the skin on the forehead. The measurement electrodes are located at Fp1 and F7. The EEG signal is digitized and forwarded to the smartphone over Bluetooth. On the phone, the AI program continuously analyzes the incoming data.
The detections, videos, user annotations and raw EEG data are all securely stored in the cloud. Users and their caregivers can use the epihunter Companion app to access and share this information manually with their doctor or others. With an epihunter Pro license, the data and videos automatically become available to the physician with single patient consent.
