In High Income Countries epilepsy is diagnosed with an electroencephalogram (EEG) machine, which are common. A neurologist interprets the results and makes a diagnosis. A seizure medication is prescribed, and most patients live seizure free.
In Low and Middle-Income countries EEG machines are expensive to buy ($15k min), difficult to operate, and are rare. Neurologists are rare (some nations just 1 per 5 million + people). Medicine is cheap and accessible, while Diagnosis is lacking.
BrainCapture's solution consists of:
- An affordable, Bluetooth enabled amplifier and electrode cap.
- An app for data collection and upload to cloud.
- A Quality Control (QC) algorithm to enable clean data collection by non-expert workers.
- Telemedicine via app/cloud enabling remote diagnosis by neurologist.
- A Diagnostic support algorithm that reduces time to diagnosis.
