In emergency
situations, time matters, but traditional EEG systems can be slow to set up,
complex to access, and dependent on trained specialists. For patients showing
signs of seizure or unresponsiveness, even small delays in diagnosis can lead
to critical consequences.
EEG, short for
electroencephalogram, is a way to record the brain’s electrical activity. It’s
a valuable tool for detecting things like seizures but often requires bulky
machines and expert interpretation.
The Ceribell
headband offers a new way to approach this challenge. It provides a quick,
bedside method to monitor brain activity in real-time. No need to wait for a
technician or transport the patient elsewhere. With a soft, wearable band and a
portable recorder, it helps medical staff begin EEG monitoring within minutes
something that used to take hours.
What makes this
system different is how it simplifies EEG monitoring without sacrificing
Clarity. The headband fits easily onto a patient’s head and connects to a small
device that starts recording right away. A display then shows brain activity in
real-time, so doctors and nurses can quickly recognize signs of seizures or
abnormal function.
Ceribell also
includes a built-in tool called Clarity. It uses a visual and audio indicator
highlighting seizure activity, helping even non-specialists interpret results
quickly. Setup is fast usually under five minutes and the entire system is
battery-operated, making it easy to use in emergency rooms, ICUs, or anywhere
fast action is needed. It’s designed to fit into critical care workflows
without delay or disruption.
EEG is essential in
critical care, but many hospitals don’t have round-the-clock neurodiagnostic
teams. Ceribell offers a way to bridge that gap. In places where traditional
EEG isn't available overnight or on weekends, the system can still provide
immediate insight. It has already been used in community hospitals, trauma
centres, and rural ICUs, giving more patients access to timely neurological
evaluation. It also reduces the need for unnecessary treatments since
clinicians have clearer data to act on.
