Epilepsy is the most common serious neurological disorder affecting 50-60 million persons worldwide. Electrophysiologi-cal data recordings, such as electroencephalogram (EEG), are the gold standard for diagnosis and pre-surgical evaluation in epilepsy patients. The increasing trend towards multi-center clinical studies require signal visualization and analysis tools to support real time interaction with signal data in a collabora-tive environment, which are cannot be supported by traditional desktop-based standalone applications. As part of the Preven-tion and Risk Identification of SUDEP Mortality (PRISM) project, we have developed a Web-based electrophysiology data visualization and analysis platform called Cloudwave using highly scalable open source cloud computing infrastruc-ture. Cloudwave is integrated with the PRISM patient cohort identification tool called MEDCIS (Multi-modality Epilepsy Data Capture and Integration System). The Epilepsy and Sei-zure Ontology (EpSO) underpins both Cloudwave and MEDCIS to support query composition and result retrieval. Cloudwave is being used by clinicians and research staff at the University Hospital - Case Medical Center (UH-CMC) Epi-lepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) and will be progressively de-ployed at four EMUs in the United States and the United Kingdom as part of the PRISM project.
