Utilization of algorithm-based medical devices/technology in management and prediction of epilepsy.
| Main Method of Algorithm | System Function | Significant Findings | Refs. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customizable multi-domain features in the seizure detection algorithm | Monitoring System | → High detection accuracy with low dimension, which reduces computational complexities. → Customisable and optimisable for wearable device. Limitation: Only 5 datasets were used to test the algorithm, which may lower the reliability and validity of results. |

| Adaptive seizure prediction based on EEG synchronization | Prediction System | → 84% sensitivity and 63% specificity to seizures are achieved. → Adaptive learning capabilities allowing improvements in performance over time. → Fast processing time allowing embedment into mobile devices. Limitation: Some false positives could be due to eye movement artifacts. |

| EEG rhythm decomposition using Jacobi polynomial transforms (JPTs) and linear discrimination analysis (LDA) |
Prediction System | → Processing chain for seizure detection yields a 96.25–100% accuracy → Able to discriminate between seizure-free, healthy and seizure conditions. Limitation: Computational time for processing chain is long. |

| 1D convolution neural network | Prediction System | → Able to learn a lot of features. → Better precision and accuracy compared to existing standard models. → 98.33% accuracy, may be useful for the development of automated systems. Limitation: Training accuracy and validation were found to be good after 20 epochs. |
