Having previously been dismissive of a patient’s claims about a neurological disorder, the physician had reluctantly ordered an in-home ambulatory Video-EEG study from CortiCare. During numerous routine and extended EEG studies at the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU), the physician had not found any trace of the patients reported episodes. But there it was on the screen, a startling revelation as he identified a seizure episode in the 50th hour of the 72-hour Video-EEG recording. Thanks to CortiCare’s ambulatory EEG service, enabled with web-based, real-time access to live video-EEG recordings in the home environment, the physician was able to capture the patient’s event and confirm a diagnosis. One reason for the success of the in-home study may be that in some patients, the hospital environment creates a “hospitalization anticonvulsant” effect, a phenomenon that can reduce the likelihood of capturing seizure events, which in turn, can delay a correct diagnosis. In this case, the natural home environment triggered the patient’s convulsive behavior, allowing EEG recordings to gather the vital information required to diagnose and treat the patient accurately.
Over the last decade, CortiCare has pioneered and perfected the science and technology of continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring in the ICU, NICU, and EMU environments with its combination of expert professionals and secure, remote monitoring technology.
The company delivers high-quality Video-EEG diagnostic studies via its team of EEG technologists and board-certified neurophysiologists using the company’s robust technology infrastructure and its proprietary CortiCloud™web portal with cloud storage. CortiCare’s In-Home Ambulatory EEG service includes everything from insurance preauthorization, patient scheduling, in-home EEG setup and remote monitoring during the study, to processing the study ready for physician access and report generation. “Our ambulatory EEG monitoring services driven by our unique CortiCloud platform, helps to reduce costs on the health system, wait times for patients, and deliver high-quality diagnostic EEG information to patients, physicians, care facilities, and hospitals,” says Carl Tyler, VP of Sales of CortiCare.![]()
