Enhanced Non-EEG Multimodal Seizure Detection: A Real-World Model for Identifying Generalised Seizures Across the Ictal State.

Non-electroencephalogram seizure detection models hold promise for the early detection of generalised onset seizures. However, these models often experience high false alarm rates and difficulties in distinguishing normal movements from seizure manifestations. To address this, we were granted exclusive access to the newly developed Open Seizure Database, from which a representative dataset of 94 events was selected (42 generalised tonic-clonic seizures, 19 auras/focal seizures, and 33 seizures labelled as Other), with a combined duration of approximately 5 hours and 29 minutes.

Automated multi-beat tissue Doppler echocardiography analysis using deep neural networks.

Tissue Doppler imaging is an essential echocardiographic technique for the non-invasive assessment of myocardial blood velocity. Image acquisition and interpretation are performed by trained operators who visually localise landmarks representing Doppler peak velocities. Current clinical guidelines recommend averaging measurements over several heartbeats.
