The PROBLEM
"Endless" Titration Loop
Physicians rely on self reported seizure data to manage their patient's epilepsy - particularly in determining the right medication and the right dose. However, studies have shown that this data is up to 50% accurate.
Increased Costs while outcomes stagnant
A recent study showed that in the USA, direct costs related to Epilepsy have almost doubled in the last decade to $28B per year, while outcomes have not improved in almost three decades.
The Potential Benefits
Improving Outcomes
Improving Quality of Life
Improving Quality of Life
By helping physicians get the data they need to make timely medical decisions.
Improving Quality of Life
Improving Quality of Life
Improving Quality of Life
Getting patients on path to seizure freedom quicker and reducing the burden of tracking seizures.
Reducing Costs
Improving Quality of Life
Reducing Costs
Helping providers and patients reduce the number of costly visits to the hospital.
The Evidence
Preliminary
We recently completed a 30 patient proof-of-concept study which resulted in robust seizure detection of the subtlest seizure type, absence seizures.
In Progress
In July 2020, we launched an in depth clinical study involving 3 clinical collaborators that have been designated Level 4 by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers to help us collect the data we need to begin improving the accuracy of our software.
