Phone app spots seizures in kids
NCT ID NCT06093490
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a smartphone app that guides children through deep breathing (hyperventilation) and records their face and sounds to detect absence seizures. 65 children with and without seizure history participated. The app's accuracy was compared to standard EEG monitoring. The goal is to provide a simple, accessible tool for seizure detection.
