The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that allows recording of brain activity and is essential for diagnosis and prognosis of coma, monitoring of epilepsy and maturation of the central nervous system. Currently, the national shortage of neurophysiologist physicians no longer allows access to care for all. Currently, remote transmissions of EEG have been implemented in France; 34% of them are not computerized. After analyzing the problems faced by these “platforms”, we describe the SMART-EEG project aimed to provide technical solutions and innovative practices to the major concerns of the implementation and interpretation of EEG examinations via telemedicine in France.
