1/7 I’m incredibly proud to share the results of my latest study on seizure detection using the Apple Watch. In this study, our algorithm detects tonic-clonic seizures with 100% sensitivity while drastically lowering false alarms—setting a new benchmark in the field. THREAD🧵👇

Imagine suddenly getting a feeling you can't quite describe. A weird smell. Deja vu. A feeling of dread. You know what comes next. These sensations are known as Auras, and keeping track can make a real difference to your epilepsy management. #epilepsy

7/7 I’m looking forward to seeing how this innovation will be received by the broader medical community and how it will impact the lives of those living with epilepsy. A big thank you to all my co-authors who made this study possible! Paper Link: 🔗 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38964183/

6/7 I believe this is a big step towards a future where epilepsy monitoring is accurate, discreet, and accessible. Our work is far from over, but the progress made here is something I’m deeply proud of.
