Sorry for the few words posting. I accidentally hit Post Reply.

mmas asked about heart monitors and epilepsy monitors. Heart monitors aren't really epilepsy monitors, or at least minimally. mmas, I think, was concerned about epilepsy during the night. A heart monitor wouldn't provide much epilepsy info beyond a seizure in progress. A seizure would change heart rate. The monitors shown on the Epilepsy Foundation link are pretty basic for user purchase and track minimal amounts of seizure activity versus a unit that tracks (per the spread sheet I saw in the neurologists office) several kinds of electrical activity. Not being a neurologist or able to understand all the lines on the tracking sheet I was shown I couldn't make a recommendation for type of unit. Example: When in a hospital, not for epileptic monitoring, next to a bed would be a TV screen that tracks 6-7-8 types of body function. In the neurologists office, there were 10+ tracking lines for brain only. It sounded like mmas wasn't entirely sure of what they wanted/needed to view and be alerted to.

Tracking remotely at time of unit use, during that 3 days, no none. All info was collect inside the unit. That contractor transferred that info to the neurologist several days later.

I also responded to eeegreen as it sounded like she was perhaps new to epilepsy. Too, new to a few other upsetting things. She was responding to my post and that's where I led the post astray.

Sorry for my responses that were off the original topic by mmas, the Monitoring Device. I guess a little too much info on the monitoring device.
