About this study
Clinical decision support in neurology will be using the EpiFinder tool during the assessment of patients who are being evaluated for possible epileptic seizures and syndromes. A formal knowledge representation has been created that incorporates existing accepted classifications and peer-reviewed papers in the domain from the International League Against Epilepsy. A heuristic algorithm has been developed that uses the knowledge representation in an algorithm that attempts to guide the assessment and provide a differential diagnosis of specific epilepsy syndromes encountered at Mayo Clinic Hospital’s Epilepsy Monitoring Unit in Arizona. The aim is to improve the knowledge representation, term usage, assessment process, and differential based on feedback from usage.
