Wearable devices allow users the ability to leave mobile phones behind while remaining connected to the digital world; however, this creates challenges in the examination, acquisition, identification, and analysis of probative data. This preliminary research aims to provide an enhanced understanding of where sensitive user data and forensic artifacts are stored on smartwatch wearable devices, both through utilization as a connected and standalone device. It also provides a methodology for the forensically sound acquisition of data from a standalone smartwatch wearable device.

- Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is linked to nocturnal seizures and can be influenced by cardiorespiratory dysfunction, but the exact causes are not well understood.
- A study at Columbia University examined 30 patients to explore connections between cardiorespiratory dysfunction, sleep disorders, hormone levels, and SUDEP risk.
- High-risk patients showed more cardiorespiratory issues and a high prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing, but no clear links between these factors and neuroendocrine dysfunction were established; further research is needed.
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a significant public health burden. Epidemiological studies have identified clinical SUDEP risk factors across large populations, but the means to apply this information to individual patients are lacking. The SUDEP-7 Inventory was developed as a marker of clinical SUDEP risk and has been used in studies of potential SUDEP biomarkers.
