- AI with EEG can predict seizures one hour before they occur.
- “Due to unexpected seizure times, epilepsy has a strong psychological and social effect on patients,” explains Hisham Daoud, a researcher who co-developed the new model.
- The system does require some setup before it can produce such results. “In order to achieve this high accuracy with early prediction time, we need to train the model on each patient,” says Daoud, noting that training could require a few hours of non-invasive EEG monitoring around the time of a seizure, including during the seizure itself. “This recording could be [done] off-clinic, through commercially available EEG wearable electrodes.”
- With the software component complete, Daoud says the next step is to develop a customized computer chip to process the algorithms. “We are currently working on the design of an efficient hardware [device] that deploys this algorithm, considering many issues like system size, power consumption, and latency to be suitable for practical application in a comfortable way to the patient,” he says.
