Outline

This project establishes “AI-based diagnosis and treatment-aid” system that learn electroencephalograms (EEG) of epilepsy patients and diagnoses by clinicians. Japan has about one million patients of epilepsy, but there are very limited numbers (about 600) of clinicians who can read and interpret EEG of patients. Epileptic seizures sometimes cause serious traffic accidents, and thus it is highly desirable to take a social measure. In this project, we aim to create an AI that can learn the diagnosis by medical specialists in epilepsy for EEG data measured in hospitals. To do that, we develop techniques to construct a dataset of EEG and to learn the interpretation of the data.
