Abstract

The EEG recording of a person has been considered as one potential component within an overall wearable sensor system that predicts the onset of mental health problems. Such a smart EEG sensor should provide detailed sensory information, be easy to use, and to put on and take off and whilst being very ergonomic the design should aim at a very low final end user cost to ensure the widest possible take up by the e-Health community. The work reported here describes the design of such a sensor, the performance and its use during extensive clinical trials aimed to establish the rules that link physiology sensing to mental health prediction.
