Abstract

Management of patients suffering from Drug Resistant Epilepsy has changed dramatically over last few decades. Neurologists and Neurosurgeons of current generation have an advantage over past generations to have dramatically improved biotechnology to help them managing these patients. Recently, biotechnology has provided us with mobile health & wearable devices to early & promptly detect the seizures in ambulatory patients during their routine activities. This is an edge; which neuroscientists were deprived of in the past.
