freeSCORE is a light version of the hiSCORE report- and database software for EEG. It replaces free-text reporting and introduces computer-based classification based on the global guidelines SCORE.

freeSCORE is our light weight report- and database software application building on the harmonized standard, SCORE. It aims to provide quality enhancements in your EEG reporting and strengthen your educational- and research opportunities. In freeSCORE, all input and output are based on manual routines, without linkage to the EEG reader. freeSCORE has limited functionalities in comparison to the commercial hiSCORE software.
​
Electroencephalography (EEG) measures electrical activity in the brain and is essential in the diagnostics of people with epilepsy, disorders of consciousness, and altered cognitive functioning. The EEG signal has a high complexity, and the process of extracting clinically relevant features has traditionally been achieved by visual inspection of the recordings and reports designed in free text format.
​
Free text in medical reporting is challenging as it induces variation in the descriptions and two physicians might describe the exact same finding in different wording and with a personal style. This can create a barrier between the expert, referring physician, and patients. Additionally, free text reporting makes information inaccessible for statistical analysis which would be of great interest for research and educational purposes.

​
The SCORE standard has been endorsed by IFCN and ILAE. Reporting and classification is based on standardized terminology determined by the leading EEG expert. Now you can describe your EEGs like the experts.
freeSCORE is a great alternative if you are on a budget and want to take advantage of structured EEG reporting using the SCORE standard, or if hiSCORE does not support integration with your EEG hardware.
freeSCORE guides the user to create an EEG report. An implemented logic will only present you with the relevant options and features, and leave out irrelevant options.
freeSCORE is a local installation which requires that your department has a suitable server fulfilling the minimal requirements.
