Automated Detection of Nonconvulsive Electrographic Seizures from continuous EEG 

Our project aims to develop and implement an innovative automated seizure detection system tailored for ICU use. This project addresses a critical gap in ICU patient care by providing a reliable and efficient solution for non-convulsive seizure detection. The system’s potential to benefit a substantial proportion of ICU patients at risk of seizures underscores its significance in enhancing patient outcomes and optimising resource utilisation in critical care settings. 

By automating seizure detection, our project has the potential to significantly reduce the neurological consequences of non-convulsive seizures, improve patient survival rates, and enhance the quality of care delivered in ICUs worldwide. It represents a transformative step in the intersection of healthcare and technology, aligning with the broader goal of advancing critical care practices.

Proposed Future Work Details 

Our future work would explore the following: 

  • Continuously refine and improve the algorithm used for seizure detection by incorporating advanced machine learning techniques, such as deep learning and reinforcement learning. 
  • Integrate the seizure detection system with real-time monitoring capabilities to detect seizures and trigger interventions. 
  • Perform multi-centre trials to validate our findings. 
  • Perform cost-effectiveness analyses to evaluate the economic impact of implementing the seizure detection system in ICU settings in preparations for a product roadmap
