Combined Economic Burden in Europe and the USA alone
Most brain disorders lack a biomarker (i.e, a way to measure disease progression). As a result, clinicians rely on subjective scales to measure efficacy of treatment which typically result in increased costs, poor patient outcomes, and years of time spent trying to find the right treatment.
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.
For Patients, it is even more difficult to be the 'eyes' of the clinicians outside of the clinic, particularly in trying to keep track of disease progression given the lack of knowledge of what to look for and if they are doing it well. Hear the perspective of Amy and David - parents of a child diagnosed with epilepsy.
Eysz is building a passive neurological exam using real world data. By leveraging oculometric data from consumer grade eye-tracking systems, our software algorithms have the potential to reliably detect consciousness and other neurological 'vital signs' such as cognition and mood. While our initial focus will be Epilepsy, our aim is to expand to other neurological disorders.
By helping clinicians get the data they need to identify the right treatments sooner.
Relieving patients and caregivers from the burden of self-reporting.
Reduce the number of costly visits to the hospital.
We completed a 30 patient proof-of-concept study which demonstrated that eye-tracking could be used to detect the subtlest seizure type, absence seizures.
Detecting Absence Seizures using Eye-tracking (DASEY): We have completed an in-depth clinical study supported by an NIH Phase 1 SBIR Grant involving 4 Level 4 Epilepsy Centers to analyze ictal eye-movement data and develop algorithms.
Supported by an NSF Phase 1 SBIR Grant we analyzed interictal eye-movement data and were able to show a correlation to subjects having active seizures.
We have been awarded an NIH SBIR Phase I grant to compare the accuracy of 3 epileptologists reading a smartphone video recording during hyperventilation to 3 epileptologists reading the corresponding video EEG during hyperventilation. Stay tuned for more information on this study!
We have been awarded an SBIR Phase II grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for assessing comorbidities in epilepsy using eye movement recordings. Stay tuned for more information on this study!
