Video‐based diagnostics supported by artificial intelligence as an opportunity to address the epilepsy diagnostic gap: A narrative review

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite advancements in epilepsy care, a substantial diagnostic gap persists, particularly in resource‐limited settings. This narrative review explores the potential of video‐based diagnostics augmented by artificial intelligence (AI) to address this gap by enabling earlier and more accessible seizure detection and classification.
