“This tiny implant in my head has increased my confidence and transformed my day-to-day life”
For 28 years, Murray Goulder lived with frequent absence seizures, facing daily risks and uncertainty. When offered the chance to trial a subcutaneous EEG (SubQ), a tiny implant that tracks seizure activity in real-time, he saw hope for better control of his condition.
Since receiving the device, his seizures have dropped from multiple daily episodes to just a few per month. The SubQ provides neurologists with precise data to adjust medications, reducing hospital visits and improving his quality of life.
As chair of a patient advisory group, Murray advocates for wider adoption of the SubQ device, emphasising its cost savings and impact. He believes patient voices are key to overcoming resistance to new medical technologies.
