PNEAHS

Paroxysmal Neurologic Event Assessment in Habitual Settings

The first ambulatory probabilistic CDS platform for functional seizure assessment

— no EEG, no hospitalization, no motion-detection limitations

THE PROBLEM:

  • 335,000 Americans live with functional dissociative seizures (FDS)

  • 7.2-year average diagnostic delay

  • $35,000–$40,000 per inpatient VEEG study — 5–7 day hospitalization required

  • 250,000 Americans with FDS have never received VEEG

  • ~40% of FDS events are non-convulsive — invisible to all motion-based wearable platforms

  • $1.4B+/year in unnecessary testing and treatment

HOW PNEAHS WORKS:

Key differentiators:
• Detects convulsive AND non-convulsive FDS
• Calibrated probability with 95% CI — not a binary alert
• No training data required (event-internal approach)
• Platform-agnostic — any wrist wearable
• Non-locked CDS — all clinical decisions by treating physician
