Abstract
Epilepsy seizure detection with wearable devices is an emerging research field. As opposed to the gold standard, consisting of simultaneous video and EEG monitoring of patients, wearables have the advantage that they put a lower burden on epilepsy patients. We report on the first stages in a research effort that is dedicated to the development of a multimodal seizure detection system specifically for focal onset epileptic seizures. By in-depth analysis of data from three in-hospital patients with each having six to nine seizures recorded, we show that such seizures can manifest very differently and thus significantly impact classification. Using a Random Forest model on a rich set of features, we have obtained overall precision and recall scores of up to 0.92 and 0.72 respectively. These results show that the approach has validity, but we identify the type of focal seizure to be a critical factor for the classification performance.
