Overview
- The prototype monitors EEG brainwaves and ECG heart signals to flag seizure risk, with researchers reporting up to 95% accuracy and confidence readouts.
- The algorithm was trained on thousands of hours of historical recordings and validated using a custom phantom head to simulate real‑world use.
- Early warnings are intended to give users crucial minutes to take precautions or alert others, aiming to reduce injuries and anxiety.
- The team is moving from third‑party hardware to a lightweight, wireless design designed to be discreet and appropriate for children.
- Regulatory accreditation is expected to take years, and there is currently no widely available device that reliably provides advanced seizure alerts in routine use.
