More than 50 million people worldwide suffer from epilepsy. The main symptoms include severe seizures, which are often accompanied by loss of consciousness and injuries - in some cases even fatal. Although emergency medication and safety precautions are available, the unpredictability of seizures makes it difficult to use them. Scientists at Paderborn University have therefore been working for around two years on a novel system for a wrist-worn device, a so-called wearable, which provides seizure predictions in real time. They have been awarded the university's research prize for their work. Prof. Dr. Dr. Claus Reinsberger and Dr.-Ing. Tanuj Hasija will present their results on Wednesday, 11 March at 6 p.m. in Paderborn Town Hall (historic town hall). Prof Dr Thomas Tr?ster, Vice President for Research and Academic Career Paths at the University of Paderborn, will introduce the event. Registrations are possible until 9 March via e-mail to anmeldung@zv.uni-paderborn.de.
