Electroencephalography (EEG) is a direct measure of the electrical activity of the brain.
Patterns in the EEG provide real-time information about brain function and identify babies at risk of brain injury quickly. However, recording a clinical EEG is expensive, time consuming, and requires expert interpretation. It is generally only available in specialist centres. As a result, many newborns are currently not assessed at birth, missing critical opportunities for early intervention and treatment.
Missed diagnoses can lead to a range of challenges.
These include learning difficulties, physical disabilities, and emotional or behavioural issues that may persist throughout an individual's life. The impact goes beyond the individual, as families often endure emotional stress and financial strain due to long-term care needs. Additionally, healthcare systems face increased demand for specialised services and support.
