Heartbeat analysis could spot epileptic seizures
NCT ID NCT03369522
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to create an algorithm that detects epileptic seizures by continuously analyzing the heart's electrical activity (ECG). Researchers will use data from 40 epilepsy patients who had seizures recorded during long-term video-EEG monitoring. The goal is to see how accurately the algorithm can identify seizures and how quickly it can do so.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this algorithm could enable real-time seizure detection using a simple heart monitor, potentially improving safety for people with epilepsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study focused on algorithm development, not a treatment. The algorithm may not work reliably in real-world settings or for all seizure types.
