Researchers develop AI helmet to prevent seizure disorders

Australian researchers have developed an implantable artificial intelligence (AI) monitoring and seizure detection helmet system designed to prevent seizure disorders for patients who have undergone decompressive brain surgery.
The detection system from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation’s (CSIRO)’s Data61 has been developed and trained using traumatic brain injury data to monitor brain activity for seizures.
According to zdnet.com, the research team said using wireless communication, the helmet can transfer any collected data to a healthcare practitioner.
“Monitoring brain activity post-surgery is especially critical to a patient’s recovery as seizures can regularly occur, often leading to patients developing epilepsy,” CSIRO’s Data61 researcher Dr Umut Guvenc was quoted as saying to zdnet.
