TRACK RECORD : MONITORING AND PREDICTING SEIZURES IN EPILEPSY

In collaboration with epilepsy specialist Professor Mark Cook, researchers at the Bionics Institute developed the first-generation Epi-Minder device, which went into clinical trials in 2019 to monitor seizures in epilepsy.

CLINICAL CHALLENGE

Professor Mark Cook, Director of Neurology at St Vincent’s Hospital, identified the need for a medical device to record seizures in epilepsy patients over months and years. This is because neurologists currently rely on self-reported occurrences and EEG recordings taken during clinic visits to titrate seizure control medication.
