Electroencephalogram (EEG)
EEG records brain activity from sensors placed on the scalp while the patient rests. DeepPsy uses these patterns as one part of the report physicians review when planning care.
HOW WE WORK
From EEG and ECG recording to treatment decision support
DeepPsy analyses resting-state EEG and ECG data and turns the findings into a structured report for physicians. The process is designed to support treatment planning with physiological information.
The signals we use
Two painless, non-invasive recordings add physiological context to the physician’s treatment decision.
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
ECG records heart rhythm from small body sensors during the same appointment. This adds body-based context that can help physicians interpret the EEG findings more clearly.
OUR PATHWAY
Refer your patient, we take care of the rest.
DeepPsy helps move a case from referral or data upload to recording coordination, EEG/ECG review, and a physician-ready report. The report supports the clinical discussion, while questionnaires can add baseline context and track progress over time.
- Start: A physician starts a referral, or suitable EEG/ECG files are uploaded through the portal.
- Coordinate: If a recording is needed, DeepPsy helps find an appropriate partner centre for the patient appointment.
- Report: DeepPsy reviews EEG and ECG data, applies quality checks, and prepares structured findings for the physician.
- Follow up: Online questionnaires are sent to patients by email, helping compare baseline wellbeing with later progress after treatment begins.
Once usable EEG and ECG signals are received, the report is typically available within three days.
Physiological context
How EEG and ECG findings become report inputs
DeepPsy analyses resting-state EEG and ECG recordings separately first, then brings the findings together for the physician’s treatment discussion.
Resting-state brain activity
EEG biomarkers
- 1
Alpha peak frequency
Shows the dominant rhythm of brain activity during the resting-state recording.
- 2
Alpha asymmetry
Compares activity patterns between brain regions that may be relevant to depression and treatment response.
- 3
EEG vigilance regulation
Describes alertness and brain-state regulation while the patient is at rest.
Cardiac rhythm context
ECG biomarkers
- 1
Heart rate
Measures cardiac activity during the recording.
- 2
Heart rate variability
Reflects autonomic nervous system regulation.
- 3
Autonomic context
Complements EEG findings with body-based physiological information.
Integrated interpretation
DeepPsy brings EEG and ECG findings together in a structured report so they can be interpreted in the patient’s clinical context.
Treatment contexts
Where biomarker findings can add treatment context
EEG and ECG findings can add biological information when physicians compare options such as antidepressant class, rTMS protocols, esketamine, and ECT.
Treatment area
DeepPsy helps with
-
Antidepressant
Comparing whether SSRI or SNRI treatment is more promising.
-
rTMS
Supporting protocol choice between 1 Hz, 10 Hz, and 18 Hz.
-
Ketamine
Identifying which patients may be more likely to benefit.
-
ECT
Assessing expected treatment effectiveness using EEG-derived markers.
Actionable insights, clearly presented
Our report brings precise physiological context into treatment planning and patient discussions.
-
Structured report for clinical use
A concise clinical report for review, referral context, and patient discussion.
-
EEG- and ECG-based findings
Physiological signals are translated into treatment-relevant context.
-
Clear summary for review and discussion
The findings are organised so the next treatment conversation is easier to frame.
Questions people usually ask next
Physicians can focus on workflow and clinical use. Patients can focus on what the recording means and how the physician explains the report.
Top Physician Questions
Do we need our own EEG/ECG equipment?
No. If your clinic does not record EEG/ECG, DeepPsy can help coordinate the recording pathway with an appropriate provider.
What if we already have EEG/ECG data?
You can upload suitable recordings through the DeepPsy portal. DeepPsy checks whether the data can be used for analysis.
How should the report be used?
The report should be reviewed together with the patient’s clinical history, symptoms, previous treatments, and current treatment options. It supports physician decision-making; it does not replace it.
Top Patient Questions
Will the recording hurt?
No. EEG and ECG are non-invasive recordings. Sensors are placed on the scalp and body to measure electrical activity.
Will I receive a treatment recommendation directly?
The report is intended for the treating physician. Your physician reviews the findings and discusses what they mean for your care.
How does this help me?
DeepPsy gives your physician additional biological information before deciding on the next treatment step. This can support a more informed discussion and a more structured follow-up process.
Ready to start the right pathway?
Whether you already have EEG/ECG data or need help organising the recording, DeepPsy can guide the process from first step to report delivery.
