This week it has been revealed that a boy in the UK has become the first patient in the world with severe epilepsy to trial a new device fitted in their skull to control seizures.

''We at EPM Scientific are pleased to see this technology being trialed in the UK for such a debilitating condition, demonstrating that as an industry we are making great strides to help those who need it most,'' says Freddie Eaden, Associate Vice President of Commercial and R&D at EPM Scientific.

In the innovation journey, we encounter stories that inspire and caution us. A patient’s life dramatically improved by a brain implant, only to face the device's removal when funding dried up, serves as a stark reminder. It underlines the necessity for sustained support in medical technology. Let's commit to innovation for today and a future where such life-changing advancements remain accessible to those who need them most. #Innovation #HealthTech #SustainableFuture

EpilepsyX.Net is launching a new webinar series on micro recordings, as well as a dedicated section on www.EpilepsyX.net. See below for more information on the first webinar! #EpilepsyX #Webinar #MicroRecordings
Micro recordings are a powerful tool for studying the brain, and more specifically epilepsy, but they can be complex and time-consuming. To help researchers in this field, we are launching a new webinar series on micro recordings and a new section on www.EpilepsyX.net dedicated to this topic. Our first episode, "What do single-unit recordings tell us about fast ripples? A multi-scale approach of epilepsy," will explore how micro recordings can be used to study fast ripples. 📆 Wednesday, October 18, 2023 at 12:30 pm EDT / 18:30 GMT+2. 📍 Register here: https://lnkd.in/gct8qZeu #EpilepsyX #Webinar #MicroRecordings Emmanuel Barbeau
