adelinasha Posted February 20 Posted February 20 I am considering creating a platform that analyzes and detects epilepsy in its early stages, which would save doctors time and automate their work.
adelinasha Posted February 22 Author Posted February 22 I am creating a platform that analyzes medical data and detects epilepsy. It will be trained on a large amount of data, making doctors' work more efficient and saving them time. Do you think this will be truly useful?

Do you mean detect the propensity for seizure activity before the first seizure?

It’s for a person who wants to know if they have epilepsy or not. This platform can also be used by doctors working with patients who have epilepsy. It will analyze data (MRI, EEG) and identify what type of epilepsy it is, as well as how to treat it better. This will save time for doctors and professors.

From the little I have read, it does not seem there are reliable predictive signs that can be detected before a patient starts to experience seizures. But I'm not expert. I presume you have studied this. What types of sign would your IT system use as input?

This will save time for doctors and professors. Still not clear what exactly you're driving at. Having a seizure episode is generally a big deal that makes the diagnosis obvious. If (somehow) someone who hasn't had one was told that they were at risk of a future seizure, since anti-seizure medication has significant downsides, would anyone take it? I'm not a neurologist, but I'm not aware that epilepsy has a reputation as a particularly difficult diagnosis to make. Ultimately, it's unclear to me what "problem" the app would "solve".

First, if there are MRIs and EEGs, aren't doctors already involved? Second, is it reasonable to have a medical diagnosis without doctors being involved?
