Bedside EEG screening
A stethoscope for the brain.
Pretip is developing a fast EEG system that lets clinicians check for non-convulsive seizures at the bedside in minutes, with no scalp preparation and no bulky equipment.
Seizures that no one can see
Patients with delirium are at high risk of non-convulsive seizures: seizures with no visible signs. The only way to detect them is to measure brain activity with EEG, and standard EEG takes time, trained technologists and dedicated equipment that many patients never get access to.
of acute hospital admissions involve delirium.
of patients in intensive care develop delirium.
mortality in non-convulsive status epilepticus, a continuous seizure with no outward signs.
EEG in the clinician’s hands
Our first-of-its-kind system uses an active dry electrode worn on the clinician’s fingers instead of glued to the patient’s scalp. The clinician moves it over the scalp to sense brain activity, much as a stethoscope is used to listen to the heart.
No scalp preparation
A dry electrode means no gel, paste or electrode placement before the exam.
Minutes, not hours
A quick screening exam at the bedside to stratify a patient’s risk of seizures.
Smarter triage
Helps teams decide who needs emergency treatment and who should get full 21-channel EEG first.
Built for hospitals and nursing homes of any size, where delirium is common and fast answers matter.
