The PreEpiSeizures project wants to provide novel tools to diagnose, monitor, and help patients with epilepsy.
 

Epilepsy is a neurological disease that affects around 50 million people worldwide, and 50 thousand in Portugal alone. It is a disorder of the central nervous system, characterized by recurrent seizures that can have a massive impact in the physical and mental health of the people who suffer from it, as well as their loved ones.
 

Bringing together a multidisciplinary team from IT and collaboration with two Lisbon hospitals, the goal of this project is to design a versatile acquisition system that can record multimodal biosignal data (using wearable devices), and be integrated with Machine Learning algorithms, which will eventually help patients with automated seizure detection.
