epi-center.ai: More than half a million euros in funding

The translational neuroimaging group receives 518.000 € from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) for the pre-market research leading to an intelligent interaction system for those affected by and treated for epilepsy. epi-center.ai navigates the patient journey of people with epilepsy, coordinates online networking with epilepsy centers, and uses artificial intelligence to help specialist teams search for the origin of seizures. Once the source of the seizures has been found, it can be removed in an epilepsy surgery – for many people with epilepsy, this is the only chance of freedom from seizures. The threedimensional brain maps resulting from epi-center.ai can be transferred to the Smart Operating Room in neurosurgery. epi-center.ai thus integrates and standardizes the workflow across the three medical specialties involved, from initial imaging in neuroradiology to epileptological evaluation and neurosurgical treatment.
