Interpretation: This finding indicates that the circadian rhythm of heart rate is more variable for people with epilepsy and that this can be detected using a wearable device.

Our objective was to test if this effect was due to limiting seizure spread through early termination of otherwise unchanged seizures.

Wearable sensors such as smartwatches have become ubiquitous in recent years, allowing the easy and continual measurement of physiological parameters such as heart rate, physical activity, body temperature, and blood glucose in an every-day setting.

Anti-seizure medication tapering correlates with daytime delta band power reduction in the cortex
