Patent number: 11219405Abstract: One or both of epilepsy seizure detection and prediction at least by performing the following: running multiple input signals from sensors for epilepsy seizure detection through multiple classification models, and applying weights to outputs of each of the classification models to create a final classification output. The weights are adjusted to tune relative output contribution from each classifier model in order that accuracy of the final classification output is improved, while power consumption of all the classification models is reduced. One or both of epilepsy seizure detection and prediction are performed with the adjusted weights. Another method uses streams from sensors for epilepsy seizure detection to train and create the classification models, with fixed weights once trained. Information defining the classification models with fixed weights is communicated to wearable computer platforms for epilepsy seizure detection and prediction.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2018Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines COrporationInventors: Stefan Harrer, Filiz Isabell Kiral-Kornek, Benjamin Scott Mashford, Subhrajit Roy, Jianbin Tang
