My 4 year old was recently diagnosed with epilepsy. Already, his life has been severely impacted by hospital stays, multiple drugs every day, only to achieve just some minimal control of his seizures (once a week instead of 20+ a day).
I've seen some promising progress in AI being used to diagnose some conditions and create new medications or treatments, but not much progress with epilepsy. Do you see AI helping in the research and treatment of epilepsy in any sort of revolutionary way? Need some spark of hope
Also, curious of your thoughts on other uses for AI for people with medical deficiencies. One of the biggest life obstacles epileptics face is the inability to maintain a driver's license with the diagnosis, therefore not being able to drive, and therefore being at a disadvantage compared to everyone else. It shocks me that there's so little talk about assisted driving being used in a medical sense to 'take over' only in the case of epileptic activity or loss of consciousness. not as an actual replacement for all driving. Are there any companies you know exploring this side of AI as a medical assistant to give people with disabilities the leg up they need?
EDIT:
OH and as an avid vegan, going to need your best vegan-friendly dish I should try cooking.
