The Psychiatric EEG Evaluation Registry, or PEER Online™, is based on a transformative idea used to help treat pediatric cancer. In the 1970's, oncologists treating pediatric cancer developed a registry that helped them network and compare treatment regimens and patient outcomes, in order to advance knowledge of pediatric cancer. The system, which is still in place, enables physicians to learn what works and what does not for treating pediatric cancer, and has significantly improved children's cancer survival and recovery rates.
PEER Online provides the same kind of vital exchange of information between medical professionals who are treating patients with mental health issues. It starts with a digital EEG which records a patient’s brainwaves, much like an EKG does for the heart. And, just like an EKG, the digital EEG is safe and non-invasive. You simply sit comfortably while your brainwave patterns are recorded.
Once we have completed your digital EEG, the Neuro-Therapy Clinic uses PEER Online and the PEER Outcome Report™ to compare which medication treatments have been effective, and which have not been effective for treating patients with similar brain patterns. PEER Online builds on the earlier physician-developed database called Referenced-EEG® (rEEG®).
