SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTACTLESS MONITORING AND EARLY PREDICTION OF A PERSON
Disclosed is a contactless event monitoring and early detection method and system of real time monitoring of a person to predict an undesired event. The contactless event monitoring and early detection method collects data from a one or more data aggregation devices and filters the collected data in a signal processor. The contactless event monitoring and early detection method then analyzes the collected data in an event monitoring and detection processor. The event monitoring and detection processor implementing artificial intelligence algorithms to predict the probability of the occurrence of to the undesired event. Further, the event monitoring and detection processor receives a health data related to the person and selects an analytical model to be applied for prediction of the undesired event. In one embodiment, the probability of occurrence of the undesired event is associated on a threshold value. The threshold value is related to at least one early indicator associated with the person. The contactless event monitoring and early detection method then preempts the person about the onset of the undesired event by sending an alert to the person and a caretaker for remedial action.
Reliable seizure detection with a parallelizable, multi-trajectory estimate of lyapunov exponents
Systems and methods for tracking EEG data and providing enhanced seizure detection and prediction are disclosed. The systems and methods use input sensors for receiving and collecting data from a plurality of EEG channels in association with a subject and processing said data to calculate and average Lyapunov exponents for a composite EEG data set. The systems and methods convert the average Lyapunov exponents into graphical representations that are displayed against a time axis. The graphical output adjusts in real-time according to the input data obtained from EEG channels. The systems and methods utilize pattern recognition to output alarms based upon input data and recommend diagnoses related to seizures.
Neuromodulation apparatus, method and system
Representative methods, apparatus and systems are disclosed for providing concurrent electrical stimulation and electrical recording in a human or non-human subject, such as for neuromodulation, with the apparatus coupleable to an electrode array.
