Blackouts may result from seizures or heart problems, and incorrect diagnosis exposes patients to risk and limits activities. Diagnosis is difficult because these events are infrequent. Implantable monitors are useful in diagnosing cardiac abnormalities, but prolonged seizure monitoring has not been feasible. This system will use a minimally invasive implant inserted under the scalp enabling distinction of epileptic from non-epileptic causes. The implant also has the capability to improve patient safety through remote monitoring.

癫痫或心脏问题可能导致停电，错误的诊断使患者面临风险并限制活动。诊断是困难的，因为这些事件是罕见的。植入式监测器在诊断心脏异常方面是有用的，但长期的癫痫监测并不可行。该系统将使用插入头皮下的微创植入物，从而能够区分癫痫和非癫痫原因。该植入物还具有通过远程监控提高患者安全性的能力。
