Around 3.4 million people in the U.S. are diagnosed with epilepsy each year. Of these, around 30%, have uncontrolled epilepsy and struggle to become seizure free. These individuals are at increased risk of sudden, unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) and around 65,000 people die from this each year.
Ray Iskander is co-founder and CEO of Novela Neurotechnologies, also known as Neureka AI, which is aiming to improve the symptoms of epilepsy and reduce the risk of SUDEP through use of the company’s wearable and AI-based technology.
