From the Ted Talk by Rosalind Picard: An AI smartwatch that detects seizures

Unscramble the Blue Letters


He explained how this could happen in the brain, and he got interested. I showed him the data. We made a whole bcnuh more deivces, got them safety citeerfid. 90 fliiames were being enrolled in a study, all with children who were going to be moonertid 24-7 with gold-standard EEG on their scalp for reading the brain activity, video to watch the behavior, eragtracdiecrloom — ECG — and now EDA, electrodermal activity, to see if there was something in this periphery that we could esaily pick up, related to a seizure.

We found, in 100 percent of the first batch of ganrd mal seizures, this wheppor of responses in the skin conductance. The blue in the middle, the boy's sleep, is usually the biggest peak of the day. These three seizures you see here are popping out of the frseot like redwood trees. Furthermore, when you couple the skin conductance at the top with the movement from the wrist and you get lots of data and train machine learning and AI on it, you can bluid an atoaemutd AI that detects these patterns much better than just a shake detector can do. So we riaeezld that we needed to get this out, and with the PhD work of Ming-Zher Poh and later great improvements by Empatica, this has made progress and the seizure detection is much more accurate.

Original Text


He explained how this could happen in the brain, and he got interested. I showed him the data. We made a whole bunch more devices, got them safety certified. 90 families were being enrolled in a study, all with children who were going to be monitored 24-7 with gold-standard EEG on their scalp for reading the brain activity, video to watch the behavior, electrocardiogram — ECG — and now EDA, electrodermal activity, to see if there was something in this periphery that we could easily pick up, related to a seizure.

We found, in 100 percent of the first batch of grand mal seizures, this whopper of responses in the skin conductance. The blue in the middle, the boy's sleep, is usually the biggest peak of the day. These three seizures you see here are popping out of the forest like redwood trees. Furthermore, when you couple the skin conductance at the top with the movement from the wrist and you get lots of data and train machine learning and AI on it, you can build an automated AI that detects these patterns much better than just a shake detector can do. So we realized that we needed to get this out, and with the PhD work of Ming-Zher Poh and later great improvements by Empatica, this has made progress and the seizure detection is much more accurate.
