Abstract

We introduce an edge‐enabled wearable EEG platform for continuous real‐time seizure monitoring that overcomes the chief limitations of prior systems. All signal processing and inference occur locally on a low‐power device, yielding sub -50ms detection latency and sensitivity above 95 % while slashing wireless data transmission by over 90 %, which extends battery life beyond 72 hours. An adaptive artifact‐filtering module preserves signal integrity under ambulatory conditions, and a federated personalization scheme enables model generalization across heterogeneous patients and seizure types without exchanging raw EEG data, ensuring end‐to‐end privacy. In tests on 50 subjects with more than 200 seizure episodes, our system achieved a false-alarm rate below 0.2 per hour and consistently high performance for both focal and generalized events. Its compact, ergonomic design supports unobtrusive 24/7 wearability, and seamless edge–cloud integration facilitates remote clinician review, long-term trend analysis, and over-the-air updates. Together, these features deliver a fully turnkey, scalable solution for proactive epilepsy management in real‐world environments.
