The Need
There is a need for a seizure detection algorithm that can operate with a 2 channel EEG by neonatologists in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to monitor breathing impaired neonates and deliver a signal that informs physicians in the unit that a seziure is impending.
Project Scope
We propose to deliver a protoype of a system that reliably detect seizures in neonates and consists of the following components:
- Software that can detect seizure utilizing a 2-channel EEG in neonates
- Hardware that alerts physicians of an ongoing seizure with signals that are not drowned out by other noise in the NICU
- Detailed instructions, and other documentation on how to operate software and hardware
