Source-sink Analysis for Localization of the Epileptogenic Zone on Interictal Data

Unmet NeedEpilepsy is a devastating disease that affects over 50 million people globally. 70% of patients diagnosed with epilepsy can treat their symptoms with medication, but around 30% of patients have symptoms that do not respond to drugs. Recent studies have found that the most effective treatments for drug resistant epilepsy are interventions that...

Dynamical Systems Modeling of the Epileptic Brain for Seizure Onset Localization

Unmet NeedEvery year, around 5 million people are diagnosed with epilepsy globally. About 30% of the global epileptic population have medically refractory epilepsy (MRE) with seizures that cannot be controlled with medication. MRE patients have two treatment options: surgical resection of or electrical stimulation of the seizure onset zone (SOZ). Both...

Closed-loop Peripheral Nerve Stimulation for Restoration in Chronic Pain

Unmet NeedChronic pain affects about 100-million adults in the United States and is primarily treated with drugs, which can have significant negative side effects (NIH-Institute of Medicine). A promising alternative therapy is electrical peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) therapy. However, PNS therapy has been associated with suboptimal efficacy because...

Virtual Cortical Stimulation Mapping for Epileptogenic Zone Localization

Unmet NeedCortical stimulation mapping is an electrocorticography monitoring that involves a surgically invasive clinical procedure. Its purpose serves to localize functions of specific cerebral regions of the brain through electrical stimulation of a cerebral cortex. During cortical stimulation mapping, electrodes are placed directly on to the cerebral...

ShockAlert: A Web Application for Early Prediction of Pending Septic Shock

Unmet NeedEach year over a million Americans contract severe sepsis. Nearly three hundred thousand of those cases end in death. Sepsis accounts for over 6% of all hospital treatment expenses in the US, costing insurance companies and individuals over $24 billion annually. When caught early, sepsis is easily treated using standard antibiotics. However,...
