A London hospital is the first in Britain to pioneer home testing for epilepsy patients.
The brain-scanning service rolled out by King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust will benefit hundreds of people who suffer devastating seizures, and improve treatment.
Home monitoring allows patients to carry on with daily life without the disruption of days in hospital — it is also thought to be a more accurate method.
The service is called Home Video Telemetry and the patient wears a special head device fitted with electrodes which records brain activity over several days.
