What specific problem are you solving?
NeuroSafe addresses the urgent need for real-time, accessible seizure monitoring and intervention. Epilepsy affects over 50 million people worldwide, yet current seizure detection methods are often unreliable, invasive, or inaccessible—especially in low-resource settings. Many patients lack continuous monitoring, increasing the risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) and uncontrolled seizures. NeuroSafe is a wearable device that tracks heart rate and repetitive motion, identifying seizure patterns in real-time. It integrates Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) to provide timely intervention, potentially reducing seizure severity. By offering an affordable, user-friendly solution, NeuroSafe empowers individuals with epilepsy, caregivers, and healthcare providers with critical data to improve treatment outcomes and enhance quality of life.
What is your solution?
NeuroSafe is a wearable device designed for real-time seizure detection and intervention. It consists of two components: a wearable sensor and a separate Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) unit. The wearable device monitors key physiological signals such as heart rate and repetitive motion to detect seizure activity. Upon detection, it sends an automatic SMS alert to caregivers and medical professionals, ensuring timely intervention.
The VNS component, which is separate from the wearable, can be activated to help reduce seizure severity and improve patient outcomes. Unlike traditional seizure monitoring systems, which are often invasive or require manual tracking, NeuroSafe offers a non-invasive, automated, and accessible solution. By providing real-time alerts and intervention, NeuroSafe enhances safety, reduces emergency situations, and improves the quality of life for individuals with epilepsy.
Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
NeuroSafe serves individuals with epilepsy, caregivers, and healthcare providers, particularly those in underserved and low-resource communities who lack access to continuous monitoring and timely intervention. Over 50 million people worldwide live with epilepsy, including children, adults, and elderly individuals who face challenges in seizure detection, emergency response, and treatment accessibility. Caregivers, such as parents and family members, often struggle with constant vigilance and limited resources to manage seizures effectively.
Currently, many patients rely on manual tracking or expensive, hospital-based systems that are not practical for daily use. NeuroSafe provides an affordable, non-invasive, and real-time seizure monitoring solution, ensuring that individuals receive timely alerts and intervention. By automatically detecting seizures and notifying caregivers via SMS, NeuroSafe enhances safety, reduces the risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), and improves long-term management.
The integration of a separate Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) unit further empowers individuals by offering a proactive approach to seizure mitigation. NeuroSafe directly improves the quality of life for epilepsy patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers by reducing uncertainty, enabling quicker responses, and promoting greater independence.
