Epilepsy is the most common of serious brain diseases reaching over 60 million people around the world, from which 80% are in developing countries. Although there are medications and surgeries available, they do not have any effect in one third of the patients. These patientas would benefit from an early alarm of an incoming seizure.
To date, there is no device that is able to predict an incoming seizure.
Espistemic has a tested and proved software and is finalizing its implementation in a portable device.
This device will improve quality of life of people with epilepsy, opening doors for a more independent life without serious consequences and so they are able to count on the security of a faster medical response BEFORE a seizure happens. In addition to alerting the user, the device sends an alert to an application that can be installed in the user's caregiver's smartphone.
If patients could learn that a seizure was coming beforehand, they could prepare themselves to diminish its effects. Our device, offers just that, thus helping people with epilepsy around the world to be able to perform activities that they currently cannot without risking theirs or other people’s lives.
A seizure is easily identifiable in an electroencephalogram at the moment it happens:
Our method consists in data processing based on non-linear dynamic systems that allows the seizure to be detected 25 minutes in advance on average.
