TELE-NEUROFEEDBACKWITH SPECIAL APPLICATION OF REAL-TIME-NORM-TRAINING
Doerte Klein, EEG-TRAIN EEG-Biofeedback Trainingszentrum Hannoverwww.eegbiofeedback.de [email protected]
SAN – Congress Sevilla May 2008
Tele-Neurofeedback Background:
The special need for professional Neurotraining in face of limited professionals calls for distance training.
There are demands for Tele-communication and Tele-training also concerning Neurofeedback
Tele-Neurofeedback/Tele-medicine is not a “new” technique – it is the application of an existing method within a new frame – insofar existing standards have to be transmitted (i.e. privacy, data protection)
Methods:
„No Tele-Medicine without data protection“ - Luecke, 2008, „partnership for the heart“
The Z-Score-Real-Time Neurofeedback-option will be introduced as scientifical
controlled method to train distance patients with neurofeedback -
A local co-therapist will be introduced, the frequency of supervision has to be set
according to individual needs.
Part of the Tele-Approach is an individual contact to the professional trainer/therapist in a setting,
appropriate to the individual circumstances: fractionated treatment in practice or home visits.
Results:
Experiences with Tele-norm-training/neurofeedback proved the efficiency and effectivity of
neurofeedback-training also in this setting, independently of group of / intensity of symptom.
Basic technical settings are important to reflect. 11.04.23 teleneurofeedback © EEG-TRAIN 2

Scepticism on the future of Telemedicine
Depletion of communication & Encouragement of social isolation – „…computer-mediated communication … offers nothing to psychoanalytic practice,
except to erode the therapeutic alliance“ (Curtis, 2000)
Lack of personal contact & Deprivation of medical cultur – „Cybermedicine …retards development of physician compassion and patient trust…
encourages morally inappropriate patient-physician relationships“ (Bauer 2004)
“There is no reason for anyone to have a computer in their home” – James Olson, CEO, digital equipment corporation (DEC) – 1978 (s. Collura)
“Home neurofeedback training will never be practical” – Anonymous clinician - 2002 (s. Collura, Remote Neurotherapy)

Actual state in health system
Congress „TeleHealth 2008“ integrated in CeBit, Hanover, march 2008Questions: - Role of IT* in health care in the future ? - can IT in Health care contribute to cost reduction ?Topics: integration of hardware-solutions into existing clinic and practice it-systems and improvement of medical care and documentation of medical datas with electronic patient records (EPR)
* IT - Information Technology 11.04.23 teleneurofeedback © EEG-TRAIN 9
Actual state in health system - 2Examples of research in Tele-Monitoring – s. Luecke 2008
Charité/Berlin: cardiovascular monitoring imbedded in emergency system, criterias for data security/privacy
Claim: No Telemedicine without Data protection
Criterias of requirement: - „techno“- education and written informed consent
- limited use of datas - only for this special purpose - trustfulness - access to datas only by authorized persons
- authenticity - authorized person clearly to be assigned - integrity - undistortability of collected, stored, transmitted or processed datas - availability - datas are available exactly when needed - validity - datas must be valid - traceability – origin and author of processing should be reproducable at any time
11.04.23e teleneurofeedback © EEG-TRAIN 10
Charité - 2Data-Protection – methods: Access control - education and code only for authorized persons
Access control - allowance of necessary access rights per login and password
Input control - processing only by registered persons
User control - access to datas only by authorized persons, no access to public internet, remote access only by own network
Transmission control – where will which datas be sent to ? Transport control – prevention of reading, changing, or deleating of datas on
their transport way (coding, VPN, private net)
Organisation control - control of all methods by data security officials, ongoing education, patient/therapist confidentiality (written)

Example for Tele-Diagnostik;
Levine SR et al.: Telemedicine for acute stroke: When virtual is as good as reality. Neurology. 2007Telemedical Pilot Project for Integrative Stroke Care (TEMPiS) was started in February 2003. Twelve community hospitals with no or very limited stroke thrombolysis experience and two stroke centers were connected via a network providing online neurologic examination and transfer of neuroradiologic scans. CONCLUSIONS: Mortality rates and functional outcomes for telemedicine-linked community hospitals and stroke centers were similar and comparable to the results from randomized trials.

Definition E-Health/Tele-Medicine
Eysenbach (2001) ... not only a technical development but also...a (special) way of thinking, attitude and obligation to networking and global thinking to improve medical care... by use of information and communication technology.Convergence internet and medicine can create something NEW – with chances and risks for all acteurs in health systems.

Definition Telemedicine
Def. in application: „telemedicine is the use of information and telecommunication technologies to provide and support healthcare when distance sepearates the participants (M.J.Field 1996, s. Oeser 1998, 9)Def. in structure: TM consists of sender – remote data transfer - receiver; transfer individual-related or anonymous; datas as „classical“ information (text, sound, picture) or as information to control machines (e.g.telesurgery – online and realtime)Def. Oeser: TM… technique providing provision of medical information and services independently of their actual physical existence for the patients sake. Telemedicine is the delivery of care to patients anywhere in the world by combining communications technology with medical expertise. Telemedicine is an emerging field that could have a revolutionary impact on the delivery of medical care. .. The goal is to improve access to high-quality medical care at afordable cost. ..challenge for policy makers, healthcare organizations, and providers…Goldberg, 1995, s. Oeser, 2001

Why Tele-Neurofeedback ?
Quality control and cost management in several aspectsOvercome geographical, time barriers (Collura, Remote Neurotherapy)- NFB-Therapist Network not jet compact enough - Distance training without distance driving (time)Create a natural extension of clinical practice (Collura)Multi-tele-modules simulates F2F situationCollura: There is no fundamental reason we cannot get neurofeedback into homes, schools, offices. • Telemedicine is the future of medicine. • Teleneurofeedback is the future of neurofeedback.
11.04.23 teleneurofeedback © EEG-TRAIN 21
Why Remote Z-Score Training ?
Quality management: Corresponds to qualitative assessement proceduresSecurity to not training dysfunctional optionsT.F.Collura, 2007: Integrates QEEG analysis with training in real time – protocol automatically and dynamically adapts to what is most needed – consistend with established QEEG-based procedures with demonstrated efficacy (slide 35)Control for protocols by setting of age & session numbers

Remote option in software ensures user controlOptions for purchasing the equipment:
- client keeps the e. (periods of ongoing training) - client-group shares the equipment - selling the e. second hand with therapists help
11.04.23 teleneurofeedback © EEG-TRAIN 27
Options „in-office“- and TeletrainingBest: - initially 1-2 weeks (at least 2 days) compact training in-office
- 2-3 sessions per day - technical training - Teletraining 1/week, home sessions 2-3/week
Optional: - decision for Tele-NFB during ongoing therapy - fractionated therapy (patient lives at a certain distance) - fractionated rental teletraining
No clinic visits in case of patient in vegetative state

Short report on „ultimate“ Tele-Neurofeedback
Patients in „vegetative state“ (or „state of minimal consciousness“?), living at home Initial assessement (Mini-Q) – analyse by an expert („astonishing much thalamo-cortical activity“)Q-EEG after 4 months training – clinical analysis Dr. R. ThatcherCritical Question: is Neurofeedback possible? Is there a feedback ? Neurofeedback Test-Session (two dolphins with water sound)If Feedback works – fractionated home visits ?Or: Tele-Neurofeedback – 4 channel z-score-dll ? (first remote 4-channel z-score system?)
Appropriate briefing and/or education local co-therapist (physiotherapist – visits patient 5x/week)Co-therapist conducts symptom tracking over internetAppropriate professionel supervised sessions by tele-contacts, initially 2 x /weekHome visits therapist 1/month (300 km)
