A wearable device is a type of technology that can be worn on the body, typically on the wrist, fingers, head, or torso. These devices are designed to provide various features and functionalities to the user, such as tracking fitness activity, monitoring health data, receiving notifications, and even making phone calls.
Examples of wearable devices include smartwatches, fitness trackers, virtual reality headsets, smart glasses, and smart clothing. Many of these devices are equipped with sensors, such as accelerometers and heart rate monitors, to collect data about the user's activity and health status.
Wearable devices are becoming increasingly popular due to their convenience, ease of use, and ability to seamlessly integrate with other technology. They are often connected to smartphones or other devices via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, allowing users to access and share data easily. As technology continues to advance, the capabilities of wearable devices are likely to expand, providing even more opportunities for users to enhance their daily lives.
Seizure timing is associated with daily and multiday cycles in multiple physiological processes. Chronic multimodal wearable device recordings can situate rare paroxysmal events, like seizures, within a broader chronobiology context of the individual. Wearable devices may advance the understanding of factors that influence seizure risk and enable personalized time-varying approaches to epilepsy care 1)
