remote interpretation of electroencephalograms (EEG)
300+
Clinics and hospitals use our tele-interpretation services
1000+
weekly tele-interpretations of electrophysiology examinations in 2023 (EEG, ECG, PSG) performed at the patient’s bedside, at home or in health centers
< 2 hours
average tele-interpretation time. Maximum 3 hours.
24/7
Our tele-interpretation services are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day with our teams of doctors specialists of the interpration of EEG, ECG and PSG.
Our teams of technicians and EEG interpreter physicians are expert in
EEG from premature infants to adults, and are available 24/7.
Advantages
- Technicians with their own equipment coming to hospitals, clinics and private practices
- Neurologists with over 20 years of experience in EEG reading
- Interpretation reports available within 1h and within 30min for emergencies
Adults indications
EEG is necessary for
-
The diagnosis and the initial management of epilepsy. EEG must be performed as soon as possible, ideally in the 24h following the seizure to increase sensitivity
-
The diagnosis of status epilepticus with confusional state, or in case of a status epilepticus-like suspicion with a psychogenic origin
-
Cognitive impairment diagnosis, confusional syndrome and/or disturbed vigilance with an acute, sub-acute or rapid progression, when the clinical data and the initial paraclinical outcome did not allow the etiology definition
EEG is useful for
-
Epileptic patients’ follow-up (decision to maintain or not the treatment, modification or clinical aggravation), systematic checks not being recommended
-
Metabolic encephalopathy’s diagnosis
-
Evaluation of hepatic encephalopathy’s gravity
Pediatric indications
EEG is essential for
- Complex febrile seizures and febrile status epilepticus
- Status epilepticus, convulsive or not
- Encephalopathy, coma, and brain death
- Acute confusion, behaviour or vigilance disorders
- First non-provoked seizure
- Positive diagnosis, epilepsy etiologic diagnosis, and epilepsy
- syndrome diagnosis during epileptic patients’ follow-up
- Decision to stop the treatment
EEG is essential for preterm infants in case of
-
Neurological risk factors
-
Absence of symptomatology to determine the maturative stage
-
Gestational age < 28 AW : systematic EEG
-
Gestational age from 29 to 35 AW : EEG is recommended during the first week of life
-
Acute foetal distress
-
Infection
-
Lasting membrane rupture
-
Chorioamniotitis
-
Surviving twin to the other, died in utero
-
Ulcero-necrotizing enterocolitis
-
Abnormal or suspicious cranial ultrasonography
EEG can be useful in case of
- Seizure within the first hours after head trauma
- Infant malaise, suggesting epileptic seizure, and when no clinical precision is available at that age
- Autistic spectrum disorders
- Mental impairment
- Specific speech disorders
- Cerebral palsy
- Metabolic, chromosomal, and neurodegenerative diseases because of the increased incidence of epilepsy
In Neonatalogy, EEG can be useful in case of
- Perinatal asphyxia
- Neurological distress
- Hypotonia
- Neurovegetative signs
- Abnormal movements
- Behaviour disorders
- Seizure with or without convulsion

- Electroencephalography on at least 8 leads with recording of a minimum duration of 20 minutes, at the patient’s bedside
- Electroencephalography on 8 or more leads with recording of at least 30 minutes, with digitization and video recording, in a patient under 6 years old
- Electroencephalography on 14 or more leads with recording of at least 20 minutes, with digitization in a patient aged 6 years or older
- Long duration electroencephalography of 1 to 4 hours on at least 8 leads, with video recording
- Electroencephalographic monitoring intraoperatively on at least 8 leads, for less than 4 hours
- Intraoperative electroencephalographic monitoring on at least 8 leads, for 4 hours or more
- Supplement for performing an electroencephalographic procedure at home or in a facility without electroencephalographic equipment
- Performing an electroencephalographic act during an endothoracic surgery or neurosurgery procedure
