About this study
Official title: A Prospective Long-Term Follow-Up Study to Evaluate the Use of the Minder Device to Aid in Treatment After Actionable Event Identification in Patients Diagnosed With Epilepsy.
The purpose of this research is to address the challenges of correctly monitoring, managing, and diagnosing epilepsy in participants whose seizures are not well captured by standard electroencephalography (EEG) tests and who cannot use or are not able to use more standard monitoring techniques. This research is being done to understand how the Minder System helps physicians make decisions about participant's epilepsy treatment after an actionable event. The Minder System was granted De Novo classification by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is not investigational.
Participants that have completed the DETECT study and received the Minder System previously will consent to join this long-term follow-up observational study. The study will collect information about general wellbeing, use of healthcare services, and experience using the Minder data over time to support long-term epilepsy care.
All participants will continue to be followed by their treating physician and undergo assessments and visits every six (6) months until two (2) years after receiving the Minder device.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Previous receipt of the Minder System (implantable continuous electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring (iCEM) system)Device
The Minder System consists of an implanted device containing an electrode lead and telemetry unit. The electrode lead contains four electrodes that are placed under the patient's scalp to record electrical activity (EEGs) from both sides of the brain. The electrode lead is connected to the telemetry until that continuously transmits these signals to the external Minder devices to remotely show EEGs for clinician review.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Observational | Minder System Receives: Device: Previous receipt of the Minder System (implantable continuous electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring (iCEM) system) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
To evaluate the Minder System to aid in treatment following an actionable event by comparing change using the Patient Global Impression scale (PGIC) from baseline to follow-up.
Measured: 2 years
