The university press service reported that the algorithm developed by Vladimir Gulyaev differs from previous attempts in that it does not require large equipment and works on a smart bracelet. Currently, the algorithm can already record attacks, and next year it is planned to be improved to notify the patient one minute before the attack begins. This will allow epileptic patients to take a safe position and avoid injuries.
The algorithm uses open source data and clinical databases. To predict seizures, a photoplethysmogram sensor is built into the device, which measures blood flow and heart rate variability. The project received a grant of 1 million rubles from the Innovation Promotion Fund, the funds of which will be used to purchase data to improve the accuracy of the algorithm, the press service noted.
