Seizures now predicted with epilepsy detecting wearableEpilepsy seizures are difficult to predict in advance so they are hard to diagnose.
  • But now a group of French startups Dataiku and Bioserenity have created a wearable device to monitor patients at home in real time
  • System is called neuronate
  • It combines smart clothing equipped with biometric sensors, a mobile app that processes the data and a cloud platform called Medata, lab for analysing the data and sharing it with doctors.
  • It also permits regular EEG recording providing neurologists with a chance to see what is happening in the brain of the patient
  • Wearing a device like this generates a lot of data specifically 126 million measurements per hour resulting gigabyte of data for every device
  • The cloud platform it runs on can cope with 10,000 of the devices running simultaneously up to 10 trillion daily measurements
