  • System and method for identifying ictal states in a patient
    Patent number: 10485471
    Abstract: A system and method for identifying ictal states in a patient, the system including a plurality of sensors for sensing different non-electroencephalographic signals from the patient, and a processing unit. The processing unit has a processor and memory with instructions for classifying data from the plurality of sensors to determine probability of the patient being ictal, when the probability is high asking the patient if the patient is in an ictal state, reporting to a caregivers if the patient is ictal, and updating the classifier based upon sensor data, probability, and the response. The method includes sensing, using a plurality of non-electroencephalographic sensors, determining, using a classifier trained using a training dataset, probability of the patient being in an ictal state, and if probability is high, asking the patient if the patient is in ictal state, logging the occurrence of an ictal state, and updating the classifier.
