Deep dives
AI Foundation Model for EEG Readings
A startup called Perimital is developing an AI model to analyze electroencephalography (EEG) readings, aiming to improve the diagnosis of neurological conditions. Traditional EEG diagnostics rely heavily on specialists who can interpret complex signals, which often leads to undiagnosed conditions in patients due to a shortage of trained personnel. By utilizing machine learning, Perimital's model can identify patterns in EEG data that indicate potential risks, like seizures, even in under-staffed ICU environments. This innovation could enhance patient monitoring and potentially save lives by alerting medical staff to dangerous shifts in a patient's brain activity.
