[epilepsydude]

I have epilepsy and while this is a far cry from solving it, I love to see more products in the space.

A device that is closer to 'solving' (focal) epilepsy is Neuropace, which uses electrodes around the seizure focus to detect a developing seizure and promptly deliver electrical stimulation to counteract it and prevent its progression before it becomes noticeable. It's been quite successful so far, leading to substantial seizure reduction and boosts in cognition (which is often reduced by anti-epileptic drugs and/or regular seizures).

The research team behind Neuropace has also used data from the devices to build seizure risk forecasting models for individuals (https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2020/12/419376/seizure-risk-foreca...).

Given the device is so much less intrusive than Neuropace, it would be exciting to see Epilert successfully do the same (which seems to be one of their goals). With good forecasting, some patients could potentially prevent seizures through modulation of medication alone. Though I'm not really their 'target patient' (I have well controlled TLE), I'd happily wear the device when at home to contribute data to an effort to pull that off.
