The Wearables for Epilepsy And Research (WEAR) International Study Group identified a set of methodology standards to guide research on wearable devices for seizure detection. We formed an international consortium of experts from clinical research, engineering, computer science, and data analytics at the beginning of 2020. The study protocols and practical experience acquired during the development of wearable research studies were discussed and analyzed during bi-weekly virtual meetings to highlight commonalities, strengths, and weaknesses, and to formulate recommendations. Seven major essential components of the experimental design were identified, and recommendations were formulated about: (1) description of study aims, (2) policies and agreements, (3) study population, (4) data collection and technical infrastructure, (5) devices, (6) reporting results, and (7) data sharing. Introducing a framework of methodology standards promotes optimal, accurate, and consistent data collection. It also guarantees that studies are generalizable and comparable, and that results can be replicated, validated, and shared.

用于癫痫检测的可穿戴设备：癫痫和研究可穿戴设备 (WEAR) 国际研究组的实践经验和建议

癫痫和研究可穿戴设备 (WEAR) 国际研究小组确定了一套方法标准，以指导对可穿戴设备进行癫痫检测的研究。我们于 2020 年初成立了一个由临床研究、工程、计算机科学和数据分析领域的专家组成的国际联盟。在每两周一次的虚拟会议上讨论和分析在可穿戴研究开发过程中获得的研究方案和实践经验，以突出共性、优势和劣势，并提出建议。确定了实验设计的七个主要基本组成部分，并就以下方面提出了建议：（1）研究目标的描述，（2）政策和协议，（3）研究人群，（4）数据收集和技术基础设施，（5）设备，(6) 报告结果，以及 (7) 数据共享。引入方法标准框架可促进最佳、准确和一致的数据收集。它还保证研究具有普遍性和可比性，并且结果可以复制、验证和共享。
