What Is SAM EEG and How Is It Different from a Traditional EEG?

SAM EEG is an EEG recording and reporting solution designed to make EEG acquisition practical and easier to integrate into everyday clinical workflows. It combines EEG hardware, software, consumables, training materials, and a structured workflow into a single system. Like a traditional EEG, SAM EEG records the brain's naturally occurring electrical activity using sensors placed on the scalp. The primary difference is that SAM EEG focuses on providing a standardized workflow and structured EEG-based information that clinicians can review as part of their broader clinical assessment.

What Do SAM EEG and Traditional EEG Have in Common?

Both SAM EEG and traditional EEG:

  • Record the brain's naturally occurring electrical activity.
  • Use sensors positioned on the scalp.
  • Are non-invasive and painless.
  • Require good signal quality for reliable recordings.

Produce EEG data that can be reviewed by qualified healthcare professionals.

How Is SAM EEG Different? 

SAM EEG Is Designed for Efficiency

SAM EEG was designed for routine clinical workflows with a streamlined setup, recording, and reporting process.

A typical SAM EEG workflow includes:

  1. Cap preparation and setup.
  2. Signal quality verification.
  3. Eyes-open recording.
  4. Eyes-closed recording.
  5. Report generation.

The entire workflow is designed to fit into an approximately 15-minute clinical process.

Traditional EEG procedures may require longer setup times, longer recording durations, separate data review processes, and specialist interpretation workflows.

SAM EEG Provides an Integrated Workflow

Traditional EEG systems often focus primarily on signal acquisition.

SAM EEG combines:

  • EEG hardware.
  • Recording software.
  • Consumables.
  • Training materials.
  • Reporting tools.
  • A standardized recording workflow.

This integrated approach is designed to make EEG recording easier to perform and easier to incorporate into clinical workflows.

SAM EEG Provides a Structured Report

After recording, the EEG data is processed and organized into a structured report.

Rather than requiring clinicians to review raw EEG data alone, SAM EEG provides structured EEG-based information and EEG-derived metrics for clinician review.

This allows clinicians to access organized EEG information shortly after the recording has been completed.
