  Summary:
  The article explores using heart rate changes to detect seizures in patients with severe epilepsy. It developed two algorithms to monitor heart rate patterns, identifying significant changes like tachycardia and bradycardia during seizures. The study found that heart rate changes occurred in most patients. It concluded that heart rate changes can be used for automatic seizure detection, provided the model parameters are tailored to individual patients.

  Summary:
  The study investigates the feasibility of using non-electroencephalographic (non-EEG) signals—specifically heart rate and accelerometry—to detect various types of nocturnal seizures, including tonic, tonic-clonic, hypermotor, and clusters of short myoclonic/tonic seizures. The research involved monitoring patients during diagnostic video-EEG examinations. The findings suggest that automated seizure detection using these non-EEG signals is feasible and could enhance patient safety by enabling timely interventions.
