  • Publication number: 20230238100
    Abstract: Methods and systems implement a variety of sensors, including in embodiments various combinations of EEG sensors, biochemical sensors, photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors, microphones, and accelerometers, to detect, predict, and/or classify various physiological events and/or conditions related to epilepsy, sleep apnea, and/or vestibular disorders. The events can include neuroelectrical events, cardiac events, and/or pulmonary events, among others. In some cases, the method and systems implement trained artificial intelligence (AI) models to detect, classify, and/or predict. The methods and systems are also capable of optimizing a treatment window, suggesting treatments that may improve the overall well-being of the patient (including improving pre- or post-event symptoms and effects), and/or interacting with various care providers.

  • Patent number: 8548594
    Abstract: According to one aspect, a stimulation system is provided for electrically stimulating a predetermined site to treat a neurological condition. The system includes an electrical stimulation lead adapted for implantation into a subcutaneous area in communication with a predetermined site, wherein the site is neuronal tissue that is associated with C2/C3 dermatome area, or stimulating cervical nerve roots and/or stimulating cranial nerves and/or stimulating any area associated with the occipital area. The stimulation lead includes one or more stimulation electrodes adapted to be positioned in the predetermined site. The system also includes a stimulation source that generates the stimulation pulses for transmission to the one or more stimulation electrodes of the stimulation lead to deliver the stimulation pulses to the predetermined site to treat a neurological disorder or condition.
