data-path-to-node=\"5\"><span class=\"\">The device performs continuous monitoring of both brain electrical activity and heart function.<\/span><span class=\"\"> It features an integrated <\/span><b class=\"\" data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"122\">Artificial Intelligence<\/b><span class=\"\"> algorithm trained on clinical data.<\/span><span class=\"\"> Based on this database,<\/span><span class=\"\"> the system identifies specific physiological changes in the body that immediately precede an epileptic seizure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\"><span class=\"\">The device utilizes two primary methods to analyze data:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"7\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"><b class=\"\" data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Electroencephalography (EEG):<\/b><span class=\"\"> A method that measures and records electrical impulses generated by brain neurons.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"><b class=\"\" data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Electrocardiography (ECG):<\/b><span class=\"\"> A method that monitors heart function and rhythm by recording the heart&#8217;s electrical signals to assess its health and performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\"><span class=\"\">The system is highly reliable,<\/span><span class=\"\"> operating with <\/span><b class=\"\" data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"46\">95% accuracy<\/b><span class=\"\">.<\/span><span class=\"\"> Patients are

Furthermore,<\/span><span class=\"\"> researchers aim to make the device as lightweight and wireless as possible\u2014resembling a standard cap\u2014ensuring it is discreet and comfortable for daily

for patients.<\/span><span class=\"\"> This technology will allow individuals to prepare in advance,<\/span><span class=\"\"> preventing injuries and trauma often caused by sudden falls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\"><span class=\"\">Additionally,<\/span><span class=\"\"> this new means of disease management reduces constant fear and boosts

has been successful,<\/span><span class=\"\"> it will be several more years before the innovative headset is available for sale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14\"><span class=\"\">This

medical device must undergo lengthy testing and receive proper accreditation to confirm its total safety and efficacy.<\/span><span class=\"\"> The team is already working on a commercial version of
