How AI transforms epilepsy diagnosesLess than one per cent of the population has epilepsy, but getting a diagnosis is not always easy. The diagnostic process starts after the first seizure and includes an electroencephalogram (EEG) to record brain activity. This recording may show abnormal brain activity that is characteristic of epilepsy. Every recording must be carefully reviewed by a trained expert. It’s a time-consuming process, where human mistakes can happen, and experts are not always available. That’s why a team from the University of Twente and Medisch Spectrum Twente developed AI software that helps speed up the diagnostic process.Read more
The robotic penguin that makes endoscopy optionalResearchers at the TechMed Centre of the University of Twente have built a swallowable soft robot that samples stomach fluid and measures acidity in real time. The robot has no battery, chip, nor any other electronics. Healthcare workers can move it with a handheld magnet, while it glides through the stomach like a penguin on its belly. The researchers published their work today in Science Advances.Read more
