Holberg2

Invention

Holberg2 is a new and unique software within EEG and the first EEG software based on the new international standard SCORE (Standardised Computer-based Organised Reporting of EEG). Today the interpretations of EEG studies are usually described in free text, leaving room for individual variation in the assessment of EEGs and hence possible time-consuming misunderstandings. The first great innovative step in Holberg2 is a report generator that ensures clear and consistent EEG description and thus enhances the efficiency and quality of patient treatment. A second innovative step is the automatic update of a database simultaneously with the EEG description. This feature will first and foremost reduce the workload of both the EEGer and the secretary, but it is also very useful for the purpose of teaching and research in that one can search to find EEG curves with specific characteristics.

Applications

The target customer group for Holberg2 is hospitals and clinical neurophysiology labs where EEG is performed.

Advantages

  • Integration with EEG reader and patient administrative system greatly reduces the need for manual input
  • Integration with the EEG editor enables automatical storage in database simultaneously with the EEG description
  • Standardized EEG descriptions reduce time consuming misunderstandings and hence lead to timelier patient treatment
  • Possibility to compare EEG data despite difference in languages because all data is coded in a standardized way independent of language of application
  • Easier overview over former registrations on the same patient and easier comparison of the findings on different registrations on the same patient
  • Option to search to find EEG curves with specific characteristics for purpose of teaching


Technology

Holberg2 is a computer program for digital recording of a systematic visual and semi-quantitative analysis of EEG from patients. It has a database belonging to it that is used to categorize and describe the EEG readings. There is functionality for transferring data from local databases to a joint international database through an anonymizing module.
