It weighs about 3 pounds, has virtually unlimited storage capacity, transfers information at 268 miles per hour, and can generate about 23 watts of power (enough to power a lightbulb) – can you guess what it is?

Okay, I’ll give you some more information. It contains 75% water, uses 20% of the oxygen and blood in your body, and continues to develop until you’re about 25 years old.

It’s your brain – one of the most powerful and fascinating organs in your body! Scientists and doctors still don’t know everything about it, however, an EEG can give them a lot of information on how your brain works.

You've probably had a routine EEG at a clinic, but did you know you can get one in your own home? If you're in Phoenix, you can book a 72-hour ambulatory EEG at NeuLine Health Management. The company allows you to do the test at home, which not only is more comfortable and convenient than a test performed at a hospital, but also allows for closer monitoring and faster intervention, with real-time access through NeuLine X, the company’s proprietary cloud-based EEG review portal.

Ambulatory EEG tests can be used to diagnose several neurological conditions, including Alzheimer’s, dementia, epilepsy, Parkinson’s, post-traumatic stress syndrome, and traumatic brain injury. If you have symptoms of these conditions and have been identified as a candidate for an EEG by your neurologist, schedule an appointment ASAP. Prompt diagnosis and early treatment improve the outcomes for many of these conditions.

What are the benefits of an ambulatory EEG? One - Continuous monitoring. In comparison with the standard EEG test, which records brain activity for approximately 20 minutes, an ambulatory EEG is a more efficient diagnostic tool, as it is more likely to capture silent seizures and other abnormal patterns that may otherwise not be detected.

Two - Affordability. NeuLine explains that another advantage of the service is its affordability, as you do not need to pay for a hospital stay. “The at-home ambulatory EEG is a cost-effective alternative, typically costing less than half the price of inpatient care,” said a representative for the company. “Additionally, NeuLine’s at-home ambulatory EEG allows patients to be treated sooner, as the wait time for inpatient care may take weeks or months.” Three - Accurate results. At-home testing typically has more accurate results, as your anxiety is minimal due to familiar surroundings. Four - Convenience. The test is painless and allows you to go about your normal activities.

The procedure is similar to a routine EEG. NeuLine’s technician will place EG wires on your head and attach them to a small, portable recording device. The device is also equipped with a video camera to keep track of your daily activities. At the end of the 72-hour period, the technician removes the equipment, and the results are reviewed by NeuLine’s board-certified neurologist and sent to your healthcare provider.

“It was such a blessing to have Perrisha Scott as my tech for my 72-hour EEG,” said a satisfied patient. “She was so kind and friendly. She put me at ease and answered all my questions on what to expect during the 72 hours. She made the whole experience much more pleasant and relaxing than I could have expected.”

So, should you go for an at-home EEG? It’s a no-brainer!
