Abstract
Neurology disorders and diseases ranging from acute to chronic are commonplace in the emergency room. It is essential to identify relevant patients and treat them as outpatients or admit them to the hospital as quickly as possible. We can also reduce the burden on the emergency care by providing better tools for monitoring chronic patients through a combination of symptom tracking and direct measurements. Our technology is a game-changing twist on traditional surface, subdural, and cortical electrodes; it will redefi ne the measurement environment as a future novel implant technology by extending it beyond the clinic into the patient's real life. The electrode is the key element for long-term monitoring implants. Our long-term aim is to integrate direct EEG measurements with our downloadable SOENIATM Medical Diary to provide detailed symptom records available to primary care neurologists as well as emergency staff .
