Abstract

Status Epilepticus (SE) is a form of seizure that prolongs longer than 5 minutes or consists of concurrent seizures within a 5 minute period. In the United States, there are about 150,000 cases of SE annually, with an incidence rate of 6.2 out of 100,000 people. Alongside a high morbidity rate, patients with SE face a grim mortality rate of 22%. As a result, physicians require a better approach to quickly and efficiently evaluating the effectiveness of medication on SE. The mission for this project is to create a real-time processing software that looks at EEG data for patients with SE and provide valuable information for physicians on medication response. The software would allow for faster delivery of results and programs to be transferred across multiple devices, ultimately allowing for better and faster interpretation of status epilepticus.
